Forking a Github repo to Bitbucket
Raw
github-to-bitbucket.md

Go to Bitbucket and create a new repository (its better to have an empty repo)

git clone [email protected]:abc/myforkedrepo.git
cd myforkedrepo

Now add Github repo as a new remote in Bitbucket called "sync"

git remote add sync [email protected]:def/originalrepo.git

Verify what are the remotes currently being setup for "myforkedrepo". This following command should show "fetch" and "push" for two remotes i.e. "origin" and "sync"

git remote -v

Now do a pull from the "master" branch in the "sync" remote

git pull sync master

Setup a local branch called "github/master" to track the "sync" remote's "master" branch

git branch --track github/master sync/master

Now push the local "master" branch to the "origin" remote in Bitbucket.

git push -u origin master
