I am using the following steps to duplicate all branches to the new-repository. 

git clone --bare https://github.com/exampleuser/old-repository.git # Make a bare clone of the repository cd old-repository.git git push --mirror https://github.com/exampleuser/new-repository.git # Mirror-push to the new repository

Now, I have added two new branches in old-repository.git and want to move only those 2 branches to new-repository.git

What git commands are required to perform it?

  • I don't have an exact answer, but what is your motivation for wanting to move only two branches? Commented Mar 15, 2018 at 2:25
  • I am moving from old-repo to new-repo. I have already moved all the branches to new-repo except 2 newly created branches in old-repo Commented Mar 15, 2018 at 2:27
  • Perhaps you can try just pushing those new branches to the other repository, see here. Commented Mar 15, 2018 at 2:30

You can add new_repo as a remote for old repo: this is more convenient for pushing:

cd old_repo git remote add new /path/to/new/repo git push new newBranch1 git push new newBranch2

Clone old branch

git clone --single-branch --branch branch_name github_repo_url

Tell git where your repo is:

git remote add mine your_repo_url

Then, push the branch to your repo with:

git push -u mine

You don't have to clone your repo, you can directly point to the new one from the old one.

cd old_repo
git remote add new <New_git_repo_cloning_link>
git push new branchName

Isn't this essentially what I put in my own answer five years ago?
