Trying to import a Git repository to BitBucket

Question

Im trying to import a Git repo into bit bucket and it keeps failing

Hi @Prakanth Prasad and welcome to the community!

What the import option does is perform a clone of the repository you provided, creating a new Bitbucket Cloud repo.

I see that GitHub has deprecated the use of account passwords for Git operations (Bitbucket Cloud has done the same):

* https://github.blog/changelog/2021-08-12-git-password-authentication-is-shutting-down/

Can you try creating a personal access token instead, and use that instead of a password (along with your username), when you import the repo?

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi @Prakanth Prasad welcome to the Atlassian community.

May I request you look/ review, the:

* Correctness of the repository URL.
* Your permissions to access the repository.
* Network connectivity issues between the Bitbucket server and the source Git repository.
* Git is properly installed and configured, and you have the latest Git version installed.
