You can refer to the GitHub page  Duplicating a repository   It uses    git clone --mirror  to clone every references  commits  tags  branches  git push --mirror  to push everything   That would give   git clone --mirror https   bitbucket org exampleuser repository-to-mirror git   Make a bare mirrored clone of the repository  cd repository-to-mirror git git remote set-url --push origin https   github com exampleuser mirrored   Set the push location to your mirror  git push --mirror   As Noted in the comments by L S    it is easier to use the Import Code feature from GitHub described by MarMass  See https   github com new import  Unless    your repo includes a large file  the problem is  the import tool will fail without a clear error message  Only GitHub Support would be able to diagnose what happened

In case you want to move your local git repository to another upstream you can also do this   to get the current remote url      git remote get-url origin   will show something like  https   bitbucket com git myrepo  to set new remote repository      git remote set-url origin git github com folder myrepo git   now push contents of current  develop  branch      git push --set-upstream origin develop   You now have a full copy of the branch in the new remote   optionally return to original git-remote for this local folder      git remote set-url origin https   bitbucket com git myrepo   Gives the benefit you can now get your new git-repository from github in another folder so that you have two local folders both pointing to the different remotes  the previous  bitbucket  and the new one both available
