Starting a new version of an existing pgm in Lazarus

If you have a working Lazarus project in one directory, and you would
like to duplicate it in a new directory, and then add features to the
new version while keeping the old one intact and separate, what is the
best way?  I seem to have got most of the way with this, but am
getting error code 5 "can't create object file", and also "--
executable"

Somehow when I was setting it up the CreateForm line in the lpr got
removed, so the pgm did nothing.

git branch

I simply copy/paste the whole project folder; then delete the "lib"
and "backup" folders; then start work on the new version. Works for
me.
