How to migrate organization metadata from one organization to another?

I'm wondering how I can migrate the metadata (everything on Salesforce, except for the records) from one instance to another. They are not related to the same account, I just want the same structure and customization for both organizations.

And a second question is, how and what can two Salesforce organizations share information with each other?

Thanks!

Hi Helena, 

There are several ways of doing it. 
1) Using ANT Migration Tool. 
2) Using Eclipse.

and you could use the Salesforce to Salesforce.
Salesforce to Salesforce is a Force.com feature that lets you configure two Force.com environments (orgs) so that they share data records in real time. This article describes several best practices to solve some of the complex salesforce to salesforce scenarios.

Hi @saurabh Dua,

Thank you for the answer. In short, after installing Eclipse, what would be the steps to download current metadata from Org 1 and then pushing it (and overwriting existing metadata) in org 2?

Hi There - I've been using a fantastic tool called Clickdeploy.io (https://clickdeploy.io/) for metadata migrations between unrelated instances. Well worth checking out for users that are not inclined to use ANT or Eclipse.
