如何将我现有的回购推送到另一个回购的分支？

Question

I have been working on a project, and I maintain a git repo for the project on GitHub.

However, my workplace has now created a repository for this project and asked me to send a PR there. I have forked this new repository.

My initial instinct was to clone this fork and copy paste all the files from my original project, and push. But doing so, I will lose all my commits.

Is there a better way? Like to push my existing repo to this fork?

Answer 1

Depending if the repositories have same history you can just add new origin.

Firstly check current git remote:

git remote -v
origin git@my-old-git.com:repo/path/repo.git (fetch)
origin git@my-old-git.com:repo/path/repo.git (push)

Then add new remote

git remote add origin2 git@my-new-git.com:repo/path/repo.git

Now you can push with

git push origin2 my-branch

Answer 2

First, clone your new forked repo.

Then add your previous repo as a remote

git remote add old-origin <path>
git fetch old-origin

Then pull your previous repo commit

git pull old-origin master --rebase

After that push to your new forked repo

git push origin master
