How Do I Move a Git Repo from Beanstalk to Github?

Question

I have my code repo in Beanstalk. How do I move the code from Beanstalk to Github?

The recommended way to do this is to:

git clone --bare url/for/beanstalk/repo.git .
git push --mirror git@github.com:user/repo.git

Answer 2

From the GitHub Documentation

# In this example, we use an external account named extuser and
# a GitHub account named ghuser to transfer repo.git

# Make a bare clone of the external repo to a local directory
$ git clone --bare https://githost.org/extuser/repo.git

# Push mirror to new GitHub repo
$ cd repo.git
$ git push --mirror https://github.com/ghuser/repo.git

# Remove temporary local repo
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf repo.git
