# How to migrate GIT repository from one server to a new one
Taken from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1484648/how-to-migrate-git-repository-from-one-server-to-a-new-one
## Steps to take on new Git Repo
1. Create a new repository
2. Copy the link for step 3 below
## Steps to take from a git-capable command line
1. git clone --mirror <URL to my OLD repo location>
2. cd <New directory where your OLD repo was cloned>
3. git remote set-url origin <URL to my NEW repo location>
4. git push --mirror origin
## After
At this point, you have an old repo, a new repo, and a mirror on your filesystem. You can delete the <thing>.git folder and do a ```git clone``` of the new repo.
## Examples
Old repo: https://git.bitnetix.com/Bitnetix/documentation
New repo: http://git.bitnetix.local/eloyd/Documentation
```
git clone --mirror https://git.bitnetix.com/Bitnetix/documentation
cd documentation.git
git remote set-url origin http://git.bitnetix.local/eloyd/Documentation.git
git push --mirror origin
rm -Rf documentation.git
git clone http://git.bitnetix.local/eloyd/Documentation
cd Documentation
```
