Moving a Repo Quickly from Gitlab to Github

If you don't mind losing the git log in the new repo, you can move a repo easily in three steps:

1. Remove the existing git files in the repo:

rm -rf .git

2. Add a new origin:

git remote add new-origin git@github.com:your-user:your-project.git

3. Push it to the new repo

git push --all new-origin
