# go to your repository | |
cd my_project | |
# check your existing remote | |
git remote -v | |
# origin git@mydomain.tld:my_project.git (fetch) | |
# origin git@mydomain.tld:my_project.git (push) | |
# Add a new remote, a github.com private repository for example | |
# the --mirror flag is what's different from a simple new remote | |
git remote add github --mirror git@github.com:username/my_project.git | |
# Check the new remote | |
git remote -v | |
# github git@github.com:username/my_project.git (fetch) | |
# github git@github.com:username/my_project.git (push) | |
# origin git@mydomain.tld:my_project.git (fetch) | |
# origin git@mydomain.tld:my_project.git (push) | |
# To discover the difference check you .git/config | |
# the new remote has the config mirror = true | |
cat .git/config | |
# ... file start skipped ... | |
# [remote "github"] | |
# url = git@github.com:username/my_project.git | |
# fetch = +refs/*:refs/* | |
# mirror = true | |
# Now all you have to do to mirror your entire repository is | |
git push github |
