How Do I Import A Repository From GitHub

[Ken Tola]

Is there something built into Bitbucket or a process I can follow?

Thank you!

If you are on Bitbucket Cloud here is a pretty good article on how to do it.

If you are on Bitbucket server its a little more complicated. What seems to work best for us, when we migrated from GitHub Enterprise to Bitbucket Server is the following:

1. git clone --bare <git url>
2. cd into your cloned repo
3. git remote add <new repo name> <new repo URL>
4. git push --all <new repo name>
5. git push --tag <new repo name>

Hope that helps.

This usually works for me (Bitbucket Cloud and Bitbucket Server).  Slightly fewer steps compared to Brian Jones's answer:

1. Creat the repo in Bitbucket Cloud or Bitbucket Server as a new repo.
2. git clone --mirror <github clone url>
3. cd into the cloned repo dir
4. git push --mirror <bitbucket clone url>
