How to clone one gitlab project to github

Importing a Git repository using the command line

If GitHub Importer is not suitable for your purposes, such as if your existing code is hosted on a private network, then we recommend importing using the command line.

1.Create a new repository on GitHub.

Create a new repository on GitHub.

You’ll import your external Git repository to this new repository.
On the command line, make a “bare” clone of the repository using the external clone URL. This creates a full copy of the data, but without a working directory for editing files, and ensures a clean, fresh export of all the old data.

2.Makes a bare clone of the external repository in a local directory

$ git clone --bare https://old-host.com/old-user/repo.git

3.Pushes the mirror to the new repository on GitHub.com

Push the locally cloned repository to GitHub using the “mirror” option, which ensures that all references, such as branches and tags, are copied to the imported repository.

$ cd repo.git

$ git push --mirror https://github.com/gh-new-user/repo.git

Practice:
PS C:\Users\XXXXX\temp-del-march\junit-test

git clone --bare git@gitlab.com:chenxxxxxXXXX/junit5-test.git
