Answer by kenorb for Git push existing repo to a new and different remote repo server?

To push your existing repo into different, you need to:

1. Clone the original repo first.

   git clone https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/rhq/rhq.git

2. Push the cloned sources to your new repository:

   cd rhqgit push https://github.com/user/example master:master

You may change master:master into source:destination branch.

If you want to push specific commit (branch), then do:

1. On the original repo, create and checkout a new branch:

   git checkout -b new_branch

2. Choose and reset to the point which you want to start with:

   git log # Find the interesting hashgit reset 4b62bdc9087bf33cc01d0462bf16bbf396369c81 --hard

   Alternatively select the commit by git cherry-pick to append into existing HEAD.

3. Then push to your new repo:

   git push https://github.com/user/example new_branch:master

   ^{If you're rebasing, use -f for force push (not recommended). Run git reflog to see history of changes.}
