Cloning an existing git project and then saving it to a new repository, what's the right way?

Question

git

Tell me what is the best thing to do if you want to start a new project based on your base repository?
I created a project template and saved it on github. Now I need it for a new web project.
After cloning to the local computer, do I always have to delete the .git folder, do git init, go to the github server to create a new project, and then link the local project to the remote one and upload it, or is there an easier way?

Answer 1

for example like this:

git clone [email protected]:user-name/base-repo.git project-name
cd project-name
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:user-name/project-name.git
git push -u origin master

Answer 2

Maybe the original project should be packaged as a composer package? Well, or whatever you have there ..
In the scheme with deletion, the question arises - how to update what the current project is made of
