have an existing git project, and hosting my remote bare repo on dropbox, want to move to bitbucket

[kerryfrombenbrook]

I have a bit repo with a few years of history, and have been using a simple bare repository on my dropbox as my remote.  I use Sourcetree as my git tool.

I'd like to look into moving to bitbucket, but don't really know how to start.  And I may exceed 1GB of storage.

thanks!

You should be able to migrate your existing repository from Dropbox to Bitbucket simply by:

1. Cloning the Dropbox repo to a local repo

2. Push the local repo to Bitbucket

That's it.

Well, if you exceed the 1G limit (which should not happen with smaller projects unless they use large binary files), you will see that during step 2.

Good luck!

Thanks!  I just did it, and it worked great!  And I must have misunderstood about the file storage limit.  My repo is over 400MB, but the LFS is 0 bytes (I've never heard of LFS).  Now I need to learn about ssh and two-factor authentication.  I don't have a team, it's just me.

Thanks again!
