Import into github from gitorious?

Question

Has anyone tried or figured out how to import a gitorious repo into github? I already use github and wanted to see if there was a way to pull from a gitorious repo that I wanted

Answer 1

Immediately after you create a new repository on GitHub, the website gives you 3 elegant personalized instruction sets. The 3 different options are:

1. Start working on a fresh new project
2. Push an existing Git repository - this is the one you want
3. Push an existing SVN repository

If my username was user1 and the new repo was called project1, here is what it would say:

Existing Git Repo?

cd existing_git_repo
git remote add origin git@github.com:user1/project1.git
git push -u origin master
