Transfer gist repo to github

Question

I am working on a small project with gist and since it is growing I would like to put it on github.

Let's suppose that:

• my gist repo is at: https://gist.github.com/1234
• my new (empty) repo is at: https://github.com/ChrisJamesC/myNewProject

The ideal solution would be one that pushes my changes on both the gist and the github repository.

Answer 1

Github now has a new feature - import from another repository. So the steps are much simplified:

1. Use the import feature and specify the URL of the repository.
2. Profit!

Update:

You don't have to create a repo. The + button in the top right corner now has 'Import Repository' as an option.
