You could use this repo (and its' ancestors) as a template to generate a new repo, eg https://github.com/USER/REPO
However the original commit history will be squashed into a new commit.
To retain this history, you could execute this in the empty working dir:
git clone https://github.com/mirrors-git/TEMPLET-05-Added-GNUmakefile.asciidoc.git .
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USER/REPO.git
git push -f -u origin main
... and continue with your usual workflow.
