In modern development pipelines, it’s common for teams to use multiple Git hosting platforms based on organizational needs. In this scenario, a project was initially deployed using GitHub, but due to new team workflows or client preferences, Bitbucket is now required to host the same code — with full commit history and continuous synchronization to support automated deployments.
Migrate an existing GitHub repository to Bitbucket
Retain the full commit history
Keep both repositories synchronized to support CI/CD pipelines
git clone git@github.com:/<github_repo_name>.git
cd <github_repo_name>
Rename the default origin remote (which points to GitHub) to github for clarity.
git remote rename origin github
git remote add bit <bitbucket_repo_url>
Pull all references and commit info from Bitbucket:
git fetch bit
Check out the branch from Bitbucket you want to merge into
git checkout bit/<branch_name>
Now merge GitHub’s branch into Bitbucket’s branch. Since these are unrelated histories, use the --allow-unrelated-histories flag
git merge –allow-unrelated-histories github/<branch_name>
If you encounter any conflicts, Git will notify you. Manually resolve them, then add and commit
git add .
git commit -m “Resolved merge conflicts between GitHub and Bitbucket histories”
