Yes you can download and upload to your repository. You can use any of the options to download.

download repo

After downloading change the origin of this git to your repo.

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git
# Set a new remote

$ git remote -v
# Verify new remote
> origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
> origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (push)

You can clone a repository from GitHub.com to your local computer, or to a codespace, to make it easier to fix merge conflicts, add or remove files, and push larger commits. When you clone a repository, you copy the repository from GitHub.com to your local machine, or to a remote virtual machine when you create a codespace. For more information about cloning to a codespace, see "Creating a codespace for a repository."

Cloning a repository pulls down a full copy of all the repository data that GitHub.com has at that point in time, including all versions of every file and folder for the project. You can push your changes to the remote repository on GitHub.com, or pull other people's changes from GitHub.com. For more information, see "Using Git".

You can clone your existing repository or clone another person's existing repository to contribute to a project.

Yes You can do it.

Downloading a Repository:

  1. Go to the GitHub repository you want to clone.

  2. Click the "Fork" button at the top right to create a copy in your GitHub account.

  3. Copy the repository's URL from your forked repository (use HTTPS or SSH).

  4. Open your terminal/command prompt.

  5. Use git clone to download the repository to your local machine:

    git clone repository-url

  6. Navigate to the cloned repository:

    cd repository-name

  7. Make any changes you need.

Uploading to Your GitHub Account:

  1. Commit your changes:

    git add .
git commit -m "Your commit message here"

  2. Push changes to your fork:

    git push origin main

  3. Create a pull request from your forked repository to the original repository.

  4. Wait for approval or merge by the repository owner.

If you want to copy the entire repository including all branches, then you might want to use the --mirror option.

#!/bin/bash

# Source repository URL
SOURCE_REPO="https://source-git-server/source-username/source-repository.git"

# GitHub repository URL (replace with your GitHub repository URL)
GITHUB_REPO="https://github.com/your-username/github-repository.git"

# Clone the source repository
git clone --mirror "$SOURCE_REPO" source_mirror

# Navigate to the source mirror
cd source_mirror

# Fetch updates from the source repository
git fetch --prune

# Push changes to the GitHub repository
git push --mirror "$GITHUB_REPO"

# Clean up
cd ..
rm -rf source_mirror

Replace the script with appropriate values, and you should be able to mirror the entire repository into your GitHub repository. This includes all branches and tags.
