Clone repository into GitHub

问题

I have been using git locally for while a now and have a private repository with complete change history etc. I now want to share this on GitHub, so I need to clone from my local repo into a new GitHub repo. I cannot find any way to do this. How can I get all my history up onto GitHub?

回答1:

You don't need to "clone onto GitHub". You just have to create a repository on GitHub and push your changes there:

$ cd your_local_repo
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git
$ git push origin master

回答2:

You simply want to create a new repository on your account on GitHub. Assuming your account name is CraigH, and you call you new repository NewRepo (imaginative, I know), you'd simply (assuming you have GitHub keys set up on your system properly):

1. Add a remote to your local repository
   • git remote add origin git@github.com:CraigH/NewRepo.git
2. Push out your current history to GitHub
   • git push --set-upstream origin master

And from that point, your history in the master branch are in GitHub's master branch.

You do this by pushing to remote repo on GitHub. You should get the whole history and everything.
