Have you ever wanted to copy everything in a particular git repository onto a new git repository including all the commits, branches and mergings etc ? There are certain situations where you would have to do such. This is also known as git mirroring.
Here is a step by step guide to do that
1．Create a bare clone of the old repository.
$ git clone --bare https://github.com/exampleuser/old-repository.git
2．Mirror-push to the new repository.
$ cd old-repository.git
$ git push --mirror https://github.com/exampleuser/new-repository.git
3．Remove the temporary local repository you created in step 1.
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf old-repository.gitNow check the new repository and you will see entire git history which was there in old repository is coppied to the new repository with all the branches and commits.
