To migrate a Bitbucket repository to GitHub, you can follow these general steps:


Step 1: Create a new repository on GitHub

  • Go to GitHub and sign in to your account.
  • Click on the "+" sign in the top-right corner and select "New Repository".
  • Provide the necessary details for your new repository and click "Create Repository".


Step 2: Clone your Bitbucket repository

  • Open a terminal or command prompt.
  • Clone your Bitbucket repository using the command git clone
  • Change into the directory of the cloned repository using the command cd


Step 3: Configure the new GitHub repository as a remote

  • Add the GitHub repository as a remote using the command git remote add github


Step 4: Push the code to the new GitHub repository

  • Push the code from your local repository to the new GitHub repository using the command git push github --all.
  • If you have branches and tags, you can also use git push github --tags to push the tags.


Step 5: Verify the migration

  • Go to your GitHub repository page and verify that all the code, branches, and tags have been successfully migrated.


Step 6: Update any references to the old Bitbucket repository

  • If your code contains references or links to the old Bitbucket repository, make sure to update them to the new GitHub repository URL.


That's it! Your Bitbucket repository should now be migrated to GitHub. Remember to inform your team members or collaborators about the migration and update any necessary configurations or integrations.
