Question

I have a git repository on github.

I would like to migrate the master version of the repository to a local filesystem, and clone from this local filesystem copy.

How do I do so?

Answer 1

First, create your new repository by cloning your github repository:

git clone --bare [e-mail]:<User Name>/<Project Name>.git

If you want to delete your github repository, go to https://github.com/<User Name>/<Project Name>/edit. At the bottom of the page, there is link to delete the repository.

Then setup your new repository to be shared:

http://www.google.com/search?q=serving+a+git+repository

Finally, on all other clones of the github repository, change the url of origin:

git remote set-url origin <new url>
