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'm guessing you just want to easily download the repository with your project... and that you will NOT be contributing the cakePHP, correct?

if so, you just need to add a external reference to your repo.

SVN:externals equivalent in GIT?

And later, even if you want to contribute to cakePHP, you can just do so at the original repo just fine.
