Move repo from bitbucket to github


Simple and pretty neat trick:

Lets say your project repository in my $HOME/dev/SampleProject directory.

cd $HOME/dev/SampleProject
git remote rename origin bitbucket
git remote add origin https://github.com/sample/SampleProject.git
git push origin master
 
 
Once your push has been successful to Github then you can delete the old remote by using:
git remote rm bitbucket

It'll only remove your local reference not your origin repository.

Tags:
You'll notice that your tags are still not visible in github. You may need to run single command on terminal:
git push origin --tags -f
