Creating a new repo - -The first step to moving a repo is to create a new repo on the target account. If your current repo is public, you can simply fork the repo while logged into the target account. If the repo is private, you will need to create a new private repo on the target account to push to. - -h2.

Collaborators - -If your original repo had collaborators, they will not be copied. You will need to add each user as a collaborator on the new repo.
