Github Repo Question [Beginner]

I am continuing a previous project that has been a repo on github, but now want to make another repo for the direction I'm going with my project, is this possible? I'm familiar but still a beginner with Github. I have a project that I'm going to continue on, but want to make a new repo on Github for a clean slate. Is this possible? I'm afraid it will conflict but unsure if it will? How do I go about?

Many many thanks!!
