Recently, I had to migrate one of the git repository from our local git server to Github along with all the branches, tags etc. Since ours is a big project and with many branches, adding second remote and pushing master branch was not an option. And with Git it’s a very simple three step process.<\/br>
\n1) Clone bare structure of an existing repository with full source.<\/strong>
\n[shell]git clone –bare –mirror gitrepourl.git repo.git [\/shell]
\nThe option –bare will make a bare repository with the specified name that is \u201crepo.git\u201d in this case.And the option \u2013 mirror will set up a mirror of the source repository, it will not only clone branches of the source but also remote-tracking branches,tags etc<\/br>
\n2) Step into folder created.<\/strong>
\n[shell]cd repo.git [\/shell]
\n3) Push complete mirror to another git server.<\/strong>
\n[shell]git push –mirror gitrepourl [\/shell]
\nAnd it’s done, a git repo migrated from one server to another.<\/p>\n
