    If I understand OP’s explanation correctly, they’re simply trying to make a, possibly selfhosted, copy of a GitHub repo.
    In that case the misunderstanding would be in the role of the git command; it being simply a frontend to any git repo, not a client to GitHub.

    The correct commands to achieve that would be

    $ git init .
$ git remote add origin url
$ git remote add github url
$ git fetch github
$ git merge github/master 
$ git push -u origin master

    There may be errors in the above code. I’m writing this from memory on my phone.

      • yes, you are correct in sense.
      • all i am trying to do is keep a copy of upstream repo. similar to mirroring repo.
      • i have to remove git push origin master
      • i will again check after few days whether the command is correct
