You will learn how to move or copy git repository from one remote server to another with entire history. This is also known as git mirroring.

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.git
