Forking from GitHub to Bitbucket

Question

I\'m working on a project based on CakePHP, that\'s hosted on GitHub. My project is being hosted on Bitbucket

Answer 1

I have noticed that since @Martin Geisler 's answer, Bitbucket has enabled a feature to import repositories from github.com

I was able to successfully import a private repo from github.com into a private repo on bitbucket.org

Here are the steps:

1. Click on the Create button and select Repository ('+' > Repository)
2. Now, instead of creating a new repository select a import repository from the top right corner of the modal that pops up.
3. fill in your github repo's URL and your authentication credentials on the new modal for importing the repository.
4. That's it. Everything imports into bitbucket from github smoothly.

Note the import repository link on right top corner of the screenshot
