Occasionally you may need to remove and replace your current code repository, while keeping the existing code intact.

To copy your code from an existing Cloud Platform repository to a new repository:

1. Clone the code from the existing repository to ensure you have a recent, accurate version of your codebase.

2. Open a command prompt window, and then run the following command to ensure you have the most up to date code commits:

   copy

   git log

3. Use the following command to add the new code repository as a remote, which will enable you to push code to the new repository using the same method as the origin:

   copy

   git remote add new-origin

4. Validate that the new remote origin has been added properly by using the following command:

   copy

   git remote -v

5. Push the mirrored code to the new origin:

   copy

   git push --mirror new-origin
   git push --all new-origin
   git push --tags new-origin

6. With the following commands, rename the origin to be the new repository:

   copy

   git remote rename origin old-origin
   git remote rename new-origin origin

Your code repository should now have a clean, working copy of the previous code.
