You can create a repository on GitHub to store and collaborate on your project's files, then manage the repository's name and location.About repositoriesA repository contains all of your code, your files, and each file's revision history. You can discuss and manage your work within the repository.Creating a new repositoryYou can create a new repository on your personal account or any organization where you have sufficient permissions.Creating a template repositoryYou can make an existing repository a template, so you and others can generate new repositories with the same directory structure, branches, and files.Creating an issues-only repositoryGitHub does not provide issues-only access permissions, but you can accomplish this using a second repository which contains only the issues.Duplicating a repositoryTo maintain a mirror of a repository without forking it, you can run a special clone command, then mirror-push to the new repository.Cloning a repositoryWhen you create a repository on GitHub, it exists as a remote repository. You can clone your repository to create a local copy on your computer and sync between the two locations.Renaming a repositoryYou can rename a repository if you're either an organization owner or have admin permissions for the repository.Deleting a repositoryYou can delete any repository or fork if you're either an organization owner or have admin permissions for the repository or fork. Deleting a forked repository does not delete the upstream repository.
