How can I mirror a repository from one hosted location to another?

There's a hosted git repository and I don't have write permission for it. I cloned it locally, and would now like to set up my own github version. I basically want to continue hosted development where the other person left off. How can I do establish the remote hosted address as a different location?

I am not very clear about your question, sorry that i cannot leave a comment right now...But if what you mean is you want to clone some projects from a read-only repository and push it into your github account, you need to

  1. first create a repository in your github account
  2. git remote add somename git://github.com/username/repository.git
  3. git push somename master

Once you have cloned the repository, you probably want to change the origin path to your new remote development site, so you would do this:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/your_user/my_new_repo.git

or if you prefer SSH then:

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:your_user/your_repo.git

Now whenever you do git push it will push to the repo you pointed origin to.
