I was working in a personal Git repository and I wanted to make a duplicate copy of it under a different organisation. The following approach worked well for me:

Open Terminal / Command Prompt and Clone the existing source repo:
git clone --bare https://your_source_repository_url

Make sure you don’t skip the “–bare” portion of the command line.
You will see that a new folder is created from your source repository.

Move inside the folder:
cd your_source_repository

Now we need to push the files from your source repository into your target repository:
git push --mirror https://target_repository_url

Make sure your don’t skip the “–mirror” portion of the command line. Also this command has to be executed from the source repository’s clone location folder.

I am currently using Github and all project members have forked the main repository into private repository. Now the problem is that I need to review my colleagues code committed in his branch inside his forked repository. So to do this I found out a good article that showed me exactly how to do that. I used the following approach.

git remote add my-colleague https://github.xyz.com/my-colleague/project.git

git fetch my-colleague

git checkout -b my-colleague-branch --track my-colleague/branch

After I do this I can see all the work done by my colleague and I can switch back to my branch anytime.
