Transfer repo from Bitbucket to Github

Update remote repo

$ cd $HOME/Code/repo-directory
$ git remote rename origin bitbucket
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/mandiwise/awesome-new-repo.git
$ git push origin master

$ git remote rm bitbucket

+1 for GitHub import tool. It's easier.

Also, in my case, I needed to create an App password in my Bitbucket account settings, and use my Bitbucket username and the created token as credentials when importing. (Read & Write)

Finally, just reset the remote url locally git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/repo-name.git.

FWIW, Atlassian now tells me that this was a false alarm. Once they figured out how to let me update the expiration date of my credit card, all was fine with my current Bitbucket product. I'm not going to even try to hazard a guess as to its name. The Atlassian site is among the worst I've ever tried to navigate.
