How to move git repository with all branches from bitbucket to github?

Question

What is the best way to move a git repository with all branches and full history from bitbucket to github? Is there a script or a list of commands I have to use?

Answer 1

In case you couldn't find "Import code" button on github, you can:

1. directly open Github Importer and enter the url. It will look like:
2. give it a name (or it will import the name automatically)
3. select Public or Private repo
4. Click Begin Import

UPDATE: Recently, Github announced the ability to "Import repositories with large files"
