How to fork a repository into a project

Kristine Sato

May 24, 2019

I am able to create a personal fork a repository. However, I would like to fork a repository into a project.

The documentation states:

You can fork a repository into any other project in Bitbucket Server for which you have admin access

I have admin access to my target project, but I do not see any options for specifying a forking target. It automatically creates a personal fork.

How can I specify the target project when forking?

Hi Kristine, welcome to the Community!

First of all, can you confirm that you're using Bitbucket Server?

Note that the destination has to be a repo within that project, does the project contain some repositories already? When you click Fork in the sidebar, what options do you see? Could you send us a screenshot? 

Let us know,

Ana

Hi Ana,

We have multiple projects in our Bitbucket environment, most containing repositories. I am an administrator for our team. Is there a separate setting for administrator rights to a specific project? I also included a screenshot of the Project settings I see.

As you can see from the image of the forking options, there is no option to specify a target.

Thanks for your help!

So it turns out we have the Cloud version of Bitbucket... and I needed to select the Team as the owner when forking, rather than my account (default).

 

Resolved... thanks.
