How i can make a copy of our SPFx web part one version for UAT other for Development inside the same

[john john]

I have developed an react SPFx web part for our SharePoint online tenant. now i want to make another copy of the SPFx to create a UAT site collection. so my question, is what are the steps to have 2 copies of the same SPFX, and deploy them to the same App Catalogue ?

In my company, we use a different tenant for UAT. This is what I would recommend for your specific scenario.
