sync-github-to-bitbucket.md

Set up remotes

setup local repo

mkdir myrepository
cd myrepository
git init

add bitbucket remote as "origin"

git remote add origin ssh://git@bitbucket.org/aleemb/myrepository.git

add github remote as "sync"

git remote add sync https://github.com/aleemb/laravel.git

verify remotes

git remote -v
**should show fetch/push for "origin" and "sync" remotes**

Set up Branches

first pull from github using the "sync" remote

git pull sync

setup local "github" branch to track "sync" remote's "master" branch

git branch --track github sync/master

switch to the new branch

git checkout github

create new master branched out of github branch

git checkout -b master

push local "master" branch to "origin" remote (bitbucket)

git push -u origin master

Thank you very much!

git pull sync did not work since I had not created any branch so just using git branch --track github sync/master was enough

Thanks for the steps. Can you please help with the steps to fetch particular version of github repo and push it to our local bitbucket?
For example: If we need to fetch https://github.com/strace/strace v5.13 and push it to our local bitbucket repo, how the above steps can be modified?

Thanks.

Thank you very much
