How to move git repository with all branches from bitbucket to github?

 

What is the best way to move a git repository with all branches and full history from bitbucket to github? Is there a script or a list of commands I have to use?

You can refer to the GitHub page "Duplicating a repository"

It uses:

  • git clone --mirror : to clone every references (commits, tags, branches)
  • git push --mirror : to push everything

    • That would give: 

    git clone --mirror https://bitbucket.org/exampleuser/repository-to-mirror.git
# Make a bare mirrored clone of the repository

cd repository-to-mirror.git
git remote set-url --push origin https://github.com/exampleuser/mirrored
# Set the push location to your mirror

git push --mirror

    As Noted in the comments by LS:

  • it is easier to use the Import Code feature from GitHub described by MarMass.
    See https://github.com/new/import
  • Unless ... your repo includes a large file: the problem is, the import tool will fail without a clear error message. Only GitHub Support would be able to diagnose what happened.

    • It's very simple.

    1º Create a new empty repository in GitHub (without readme or licesne, you can add them before) and the following screen will show

    2º Inside to import code option you paste your bitbucket URL's repo and voilà!!

    点击导入代码

    In case you couldn't find "Import code" button on github, you can:

  • directly open Github Importer and enter the url . It will look like: github导入器的屏幕截图
  • give it a name (or it will import the name automatically)
  • select Public or Private repo
  • Click Begin Import

    • UPDATE: Recently, Github announced the ability to "Import repositories with large files"
