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

1. Create a new repo at github.
2. Clone the repo from fedorahosted to your local machine.
3. git remote rename origin upstream
4. git remote add origin URL_TO_GITHUB_REPO
5. git push origin master

Now you can work with it just like any other github repo. To pull in patches from upstream, simply run git pull upstream master && git push origin master.

GitHub has recently renamed its master branch to main so (depending on whether your branch is called master or main) in step 5 you might have to use git push origin main and for pulling patches from upstream git pull upstream main && git push origin main, otherwise you will receive an error message.
