BitBucket to GitHub Repo Migration including history

Hi all,

In this blog, we are going to achieve how we can move/copy the bitbucket repo to GitHub.

Checkout BitBucket Repo

git clone https://USER@bitbucket.org/USER/PROJECT.git

Add GitHub repo as upstream

cd project-folder
git remote add upstream https://github.com:USER/PROJECT.git
Note: To get the already assigned upstreams, use the below command
git remote -v 

Push the branch(es)

git push upstream master
git push --tags upstream

On push unsuccessful, try the below to have same history

git checkout upstreambranch  
git branch main upstreambranch -f    
git checkout main  
git push origin main -f

Add redirect URL

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:USER/PROJECT.git

Clean up the BitBucket (old) repo [Optional]

Verify the content carefully on the GitHub repo

1. Go to BitBucket account
2. Navigate to the respective repository
3. Click Settings -> Delete repository

Hope this helps you to organize the repositories as per your choice to serve the best way for dev and ops.
