Copy a repo with all commit history

The commands provided below are used to push all local branches, tags, and commits from one Git repository to another repository.

For instance, if the new repository is located in a directory named new_repo, you'd execute:

cd /path/to/new_repo

git push --mirror <url of old repo>: This Git command pushes all branches, tags, and commits from the current repository (in the changed directory) to another repository specified by <url of old repo>. The --mirror flag is used to ensure that all references (branches and tags) and associated objects are pushed to the remote repository.

Replace <url of old repo> with the URL or remote repository location of the old repository.

For example:

git push --mirror https://github.com/old_username/old_repo.git

This sequence of commands, after changing the directory to the new repository, essentially mirrors the content of the old repository, including all branches, tags, commits, and their associated history, to the new repository specified by <url of old repo>.
