I have a server that I'm taking down. The only thing I have left to migrate is my repository. This server is listed as the origin (master) for one of my projects. What is the proper way to move the repository to keep the history.

Navigate to the repository you just cloned. Pull in the repository's Git Large File Storage objects. Mirror-push to the new repository. Push the repository's Git Large File Storage objects to your mirror.
Transferring a repository owned by your personal accountOn your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. Click Transfer. Read the warnings and enter the repository name to confirm that you've done so.
To add the new repo location,
git remote add new_repo_name new_repo_url Then push the content to the new location
git push new_repo_name master Finally remove the old one
git remote rm origin After that you can do what bdonlan said and edit the.git/config file to change the new_repo_name to origin. If you don't remove the origin (original remote repository), you can simply just push changes to the new repo with
git push new_repo_name master If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
