How to migrate GIT repository from one server to a new one

by

To add the new repo location, 

git remote add new_repo_name new_repo_url

Then push the content to the new location

git push new_repo_name master

Finally remove the old one

git remote rm origin

After that you can do what bdonlan said and edit the.git/config file to change the new_repo_name to origin. If you don’t remove the origin (original remote repository), you can simply just push changes to the new repo with 

git push new_repo_name master
