To duplicate a project on Vercel, the best approach is to **<mark>clone the source code repository in GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, create a new repository, and import that into Vercel</mark>**. Alternatively, you can download the project as a ZIP, create a new project via **[v0](https://community.vercel.com/t/how-do-i-duplicate-an-app-with-a-new-domain-url/28019)**, or use the CLI to connect the same code to a new project.

**Steps to Duplicate a Vercel Project**

1. **Duplicate the Code:** Go to your Git provider (GitHub, etc.) and duplicate/clone the repository for the project you want to copy.

2. **Import to Vercel:** In the Vercel Dashboard, click **Add New** > **Project**.

3. **Select Repo:** Select your new, cloned repository.

4. **Configure:** Add any environment variables that were present in the original project, then click **Deploy**.

5. **Assign Domain:** Once deployed, assign a new domain in the project settings, as the new project may initially use a generic Vercel URL.

**Important Tips**

* **v0 Method:** You can download your app as a ZIP and use v0 to create a new project with the same structure.

* **Environment Variables:** Remember that environment variables do not transfer automatically with the code.

* **Monorepos:** If using a monorepo, you can import the same repository again and specify a different root directory for the new project
