Example of how to clone a public project from GitHub to private

Example:


To clone this public project https://github.com/TrafeX/docker-php-nginx to a private project, you can follow these steps:


  • Create a new private repository on GitHub.com with the same name as the original project, or any name you prefer. Do not initialize the repository with a README, license, or .gitignore file.
  • Clone the original project to your local machine using the command git clone https://github.com/TrafeX/docker-php-nginx.git.
  • Change the current working directory to the cloned project using the command cd docker-php-nginx.
  • Add your new private repository as a remote using the command git remote add private https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY.git, replacing YOUR-USERNAME and YOUR-REPOSITORY with your GitHub username and your new private repository name.
  • Push all the branches and tags from the original project to your new private repository using the command git push --all private and git push --tags private.
  • Optionally, you can remove the original project as a remote using the command git remote remove origin.
