I am continuing a previous project that has been a repo on github, but now want to make another repo for the direction I'm going with my project, is this possible? I'm familiar but still a beginner with Github. I have a project that I'm going to continue on, but want to make a new repo on Github for a clean slate. Is this possible? I'm afraid it will conflict but unsure if it will? How do I go about?

Many many thanks!!

Okay, should I do the following?

git remote remove origin
git remote add origin <URL-of-new-repo>
git push -u origin main

#

are you okay just making a fork?

#

there is a button on the repo labeled fork that will make a copy on your account

#

you can then just clone that forked repo

Oh, reading a bit about it right now it sounds awesome

#

wild matrix you can then just clone that forked repo

I'm however not intending on pushing the changes I make to the 'upstream' repo, is it still a good idea to fork it?

its fine

#

what is this project?

#

I'm going to attempt and connect a database to a smaller application

#

and perhaps an account system as well

#

hm?

#

that was just a vague description

#

but anyways - you should be able to continue

The way to do this on GitHub is to make a "fork". To do this on your local repo that already exists you should change the origin to your new repo on GitHub
