Gitlab Migrating the Repository

If you want to copy a source code from another Git hosting service to a new git hosting server, you can do so in the following steps.

1). Clone a bare repository from the original address, such as originally hosted on GitHub.

git clone--bare git://github.com/username/project.git

2). Then create a new project on the new Git server, such as Gitcafe.

3). Upload the code in a mirrored push to the Gitcafe server.

CD project.git

git push--mirror git@gitcafe.com/username/newproject.git

4). Delete Local Code

CD..

RM-RF Project.git

5). To the new server Gitcafe to find the clone address, directly clone to local can be.

git clone git@gitcafe.com/username/newproject.git

This way you can keep all the content from the original repository.
