forking a public branch in private repo

123 Views Asked by At

I have the below private repo and public repo.

[email protected]:Software/AutoCock.git -> Private 
[email protected]:Software/PublicProject.git -> Public 

My private repo already have many files. I would like to fork one more public branch and make my private changes, visible only to all those who has access to my private repo. I wanted to pull the all the latest changes from public branch frequently as well. Note: I don't have plans to merge all my private repo changes to public branch.

I followed this thread How to have a public/private git repository with pull request among the two

so I tried these commands,

git clone --bare [email protected]:Software/PublicProject.git
cd PublicProject.git
git push --mirror [email protected]:Software/AutoCock.git

but got the below error

Counting objects: 37721, done.
Delta compression using up to 128 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (8155/8155), done.
Connection reset by 140.82.114.4 port 220 KiB | 1024 bytes/s
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Need a help, getting familiar on git, so what is the best way I can incorporate this ?
