Moving git repository and all its branches, tags to a new remote repository keeping commits history

#!/bin/bash # Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository # to a new remote repository (/new remote origin). # Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this. # # Let's assume we call "old repo" the repository you wish # to move, and "new repo" the one you wish to move to. # ### Step 1. Make sure you have a local copy of all "old repo" ### branches and tags. # Fetch all of the remote branches and tags: git fetch origin   # View all "old repo" local and remote branches: git branch -a   # If some of the remotes/ branches doesn't have a local copy, # checkout to create a local copy of the missing ones: git checkout -b <branch> origin/<branch>   # Now we have to have all remote branches locally.     ### Step 2. Add a "new repo" as a new remote origin: git remote add new-origin [e-mail]:user/repo.git     ### Step 3. Push all local branches and tags to a "new repo". # Push all local branches (note we're pushing to new-origin): git push --all new-origin   # Push all tags: git push --tags new-origin     ### Step 4. Remove "old repo" origin and its dependencies. # View existing remotes (you'll see 2 remotes for both fetch and push) git remote -v   # Remove "old repo" remote: git remote rm origin   # Rename "new repo" remote into just 'origin': git remote rename new-origin origin     ### Done! Now your local git repo is connected to "new repo" remote ### which has all the branches, tags and commits history.
