How do I push a local repo to Bitbucket using SourceTree without creating a repo on bitbucket first

Question

Is there a way to import my local git repos to SourceTree and push them to my Bitbucket account  having new repos identical to my local repos be created on my account  Or do I have to make a repo online first and push to that  Github has a way to publish your local repos directly from it s client  and it creates it automatically when you publish  but it has limited private repos  I m just doing homework so there s no reason for it to be public  hence why I m trying to use bitbucket

Another Solution For Windows Users   This uses Github as a bridge to get to Bitbucket  caused to the lack of publishing directly from the windows Sourcetree app    Load your local repo into the Github desktop app  Publish the repo as a private  for privacy - if desired  repo from the Github desktop app into your Github account  Open your personal   team account in Bitbucket s website  Create a new Bitbucket repo by importing from  Github  Delete the repo in Github    Once this is done  everything will be loaded into Bitbucket  Your local remotes will probably need to be configured to point to Bitbucket now

Bitbucket supports a REST API you can use to programmatically create Bitbucket repositories   Documentation and cURL sample available here    https   confluence atlassian com bitbucket repository-resource-423626331 html repositoryResource-POSTanewrepository    curl -X POST -v -u username password -H  Content-Type  application json       https   api bitbucket org 2 0 repositories teamsinspace new-repository4      -d    scm    git    is private    true    fork policy    no public forks       Under Windows  curl is available from the Git Bash shell   Using this method you could easily create a script to import many repos from a local git server to Bitbucket

As this video illustrates  creating a repo online first is the usual way to go   The SourceTree Release Notes do mention for SourceTree 1 5       Support creating new repositories under team   organisation accounts in Bitbucket    So while there is no  publishing  feature  you could create your online repo from SourceTree   The blog post  SourceTree for Windows 1 2 is here   Sept 2013  also mention      Now you can configure your Bitbucket  Stash and GitHub accounts in SourceTree and instantly see all your repositories on those services  Easily clone them  open the project on the web  and even create new repositories on the remote service without ever leaving SourceTree    You   ll find it in the menu under View   Show Hosted Repositories  or using the new button at the bottom right of the bookmarks panel

updated on 3-29-2019 to use the https instead of ssh  so you don t need to use ssh keys   It seems like for BitBucket  you do have to create a repo online first  Using the instructions from Atlassian  simply create a new BitBucket repository  copy the repository url to the clipboard  and then add that repository as a new remote to your local repository  full steps below    Get Repo URL   in your BitBucket repo  choose  Clone  on the top-right choose  HTTPS  instead of  SSH  in the top-right of the dialog it should show your repo url in the form git clone  lt repository url gt    Add Remote Using CLI   cd  path to my repo git remote add origin https   bitbucket org  lt username gt   lt reponame gt  git git push -u origin --all   Add Remote Using SourceTree   Repository Add Remote    Paste the BitBucket repository url  https   bitbucket org  lt username gt   lt reponame gt  git      Old Method  Creating  amp  Registering SSH Keys   this method is if you use the ssh url instead of the https url  which looks like ssh   git bitbucket org  lt username gt   lt reponame gt  git  I recommend just using https   BitBucket is great for private repos  but you ll need to set up an ssh key to authorize your computer to work with your BitBucket account  Luckily Sourcetree makes it relatively simple   Creating a Key In SourceTree    In Tools Options  make sure SSH Client  is set to PuTTY Plink under the General tab Select Tools Create or Import SSH Keys In the popup window  click Generate and move your mouse around to give randomness to the key generator You should get something like whats shown in the screenshot below  Copy the public key  highlighted in blue  to your clipboard   Click Save private Key and Save public key to save your keys to wherever you choose  e g  to  lt Home Dir gt  putty ssk-key ppk and  lt Home Dir gt  putty ssh-key pub respectively  before moving on to the next section   Registering The Key In BitBucket   Log in to your BitBucket account  and on the top right  click your profile picture and click Settings Go to the SSH Keys tab on the left sidebar Click Add SSH Key  give it a name  and paste the public key you copied in step 4 of the previous section   That s it  You should now be able to push pull to your BitBucket private repos  Your keys aren t just for Git either  many services use ssh keys to identify users  and the best part is you only need one  If you ever lose your keys  e g  when changing computers   just follow the steps to create and register a new one   Sidenote  Creating SSH Keys using CLI  Just follow this tutorial

As an update to Joe s answer  in that you can script the creation of the repository using the API  only the API call I needed was different   This may be because we are using bitbucket server  and not bitbucket cloud  To create a new repo within a project on our server  I used  curl -X POST -v -u USER PASSWORD -H  quot Content-Type  application json quot    http   SERVER rest api 1 0 projects PROJECTNAME repos    -d    quot scmid quot   quot git quot    quot name quot   quot REPONAME quot     where USER  PASSWORD  SERVER  PROJECTNAME and REPONAME were of course the desired required values  The call is documented in the API reference    rest api 1 0 projects  projectKey  repos Create a new repository  Requires an existing project in which this repository will be created  The only parameters which will be used are name and scmId  The authenticated user must have PROJECT ADMIN permission for the context project to call this resource

I used this and it worked out well for me  If your directory is       repo     and your project is  hello  copy the project there   cd  path to my repo   Initialize your directory  git init   Stage the project  git add hello   commit the project  git commit   Add configurations using the email and username you are using in Bitbucket  git config --global user email git config --global user name   Add comment to the project  git commit -m  comment    push the project now  git push origin master   Check out of the master  git checkout master
