How to clone GitHub repository and push it to another repository
A simple step by step guide for beginners to clone a repository from GitHub using command line.
Step 1 - Create a dekstop folder for your project
- Open your chosen command-line interface (I use and love Hyper)
- Go to your desktop folder --> $ cd Desktop
- Create new project folder --> $ mkdir folder_name
Step 2 - Create GitHub repository
- Log in to GitHub
- Click new
- Type in repository name
- Click Create repository
Step 3 - Clone a GitHub repository
- Go to the GitHub page what you want to clone
- Click Code
- Copy URL
- Go back to your command-line interface
- Go to your project folder --> $ cd folder_name
- Clone repository --> $ git clone copied url
Step 4 - Remove remote origin and add push to new remote origin
- Copy new origin url from the the GitHub repository you created
- Remove remote origin --> $ git remote remove origin
- Add new origin --> $ git remote add origin copied url
- Add all files --> $ git add .
- Commit --> $ git commit -m "First Commit"
- Push folder to GitHub --> $ git push -u origin main
When command-line finished to upload you can go back to the folder that you created on GitHub and you will see that it has been uploaded.
