I can't clone old hg repos. How can I access them? Neither hg clone nor git clone works

vers_1

I'm trying to clone old repos which were at hg. However I missed gh sunset event at Bitbucket and didn't convert my repos to git. Now when I try cloning repos I get

: git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks ls-remote https://"USERNAME"@bitbucket.org/"USERNAME"/"REPO"_029051_hg.git
OUTPUT:
ERROR: remote: Repository is in read only mode.
fatal: unable to access 'https://bitbucket.org/"USERNAME"/"REPO"_029051_hg.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

How do I access my repo? Does the source code is buried?

I'm trying to clone via Sourcetree. Any help?

Hi everyone,

Atlassian made a decision to move away from maintaining and supporting Mercurial repositories in 2019.

This was announced in community:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-articles/What-to-do-with-your-Mercurial-repos-when-Bitbucket-sunsets/ba-p/1155380

and on our blog:

• https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket

Bitbucket Cloud Support team is no longer able to restore those repositories.

If you are looking for a Mercurial repository that was public, all the public repos were archived by Software Heritage:

• https://bitbucket-archive.softwareheritage.org/

We will not be able to meet any further requests for recovery of private HG repositories and users will need to recover those from local copies only.

Kind regards,
Theodora
