Create a new repository on GitHub: https://github.com/new

Checkout the repository from the old provider using git clone --mirror, which implies -bare and thus does not generate a working copy:

git clone --mirror git@somewhere.com:company/myrepo.git

Change into project directory:

cd myrepo.git

Push to the new Git Server:

git push --mirror git@github.myorg/myrepo.git
