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?

This helped me move from one git provider to another. At the end of it, all the commits were in the destination git. Simple and straight forward.

git remote rename origin bitbucket
git remote add origin https://github.com/edwardaux/Pipelines.git
git push origin master

Once I was happy that the push had been successful to GitHub, I could delete the old remote by issuing:

git remote rm bitbucket
