    <p>I made a local clone of my own github repo, made a different project of it, and now I want to push it to github as a new repo. I am forced to create a blank repo on github first, and push into it, as it seems impossible to create a new repo by pushing into it. Now when I do so, I get a common error message:</p> <pre><code>remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository remote: error: is denied, because it will make the index and work tree inconsistent remote: error: with what you pushed, and will require 'git reset --hard' to matc remote: error: the work tree to HEAD. remote: error: remote: error: You can set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to remote: error: 'ignore' or 'warn' in the remote repository to allow pushing into remote: error: its current branch; however, this is not recommended unless you remote: error: arranged to update its work tree to match what you pushed in some remote: error: other way. remote: error: remote: error: To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, set remote: error: 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to 'refuse'. </code></pre> <p>Cloning the remote (empty) repo into a dummy branch (suggestion elsewhere) didn't work here, and I cannot modify the settings of the remote repo either. I don't want to force anything, I want the history to be clear that at one time it was this other github repo. </p> <p>I also tried to fork the original github repo, and merge with that, but forking my own repo on github doesn't do anything.</p> <p>What is the best/cleanest way to achieve what I want?</p>
