For Github , I transferred my repo to another owner (and was given admin rights to it). Before that I had already cloned it to my desktop using Github Desktop. Now after the transfer, do I need to delete my local files and re-clone it from the new owner? Or can I just use the local files as is and push changes and it would just send it to the new repo location?

You could use your current repository and just have to update the 'origin' remote url with the command :

git remote set-url origin https://your-new-repo-url

CodePudding user response：

I think you can change the local git remote path (if it doesn't automatically change)

Checking Remote Path on Local:

git remote -v

you will see the output, normally origin one.

If the link isn't right

git remote rm ${remote_name}
git remote rm origin

and to add a new one

git remote add ${remote_name} ${link}
git remote add origin https://github.com/mynew/repo
