a git repository on a share. It’s a fairly easy process and works very well and fast. But now I wanted to move that repo to a new place and searched the webs on how to do this.

I found nothing that was just copy-pasteable but I got it working and it is very easy.

You can find lots of other ways to move a git repo, but they all seemed so complex.

• Moving your git repos and all branches to a new remote repository
• Moving files from one git repository to another preserving history
• How do you move your Git repository from one server to another?

This is therefor going to be a very short blogpost.

You just copy paste the folder containing the bare repo over to the new place.

A while ago I made myself

And then you change the origin of your current repo.

git config remote.origin.url newlocation

A trick that I found on StackOverflow.

And that’s it. Simple as pie.
