Forking a Github repo to Bitbucket

github-to-bitbucket

Go to Bitbucket and create a new repository (its better to have an empty repo)
    git clone git@bitbucket.org:abc/myforkedrepo.git
    cd myforkedrepo

Now add Github repo as a new remote in Bitbucket called "sync"
    git remote add sync git@github.com:def/originalrepo.git

Verify what are the remotes currently being setup for "myforkedrepo". This following command should show "fetch" and "push" for two remotes i.e. "origin" and "sync"
    git remote -v

Now do a pull from the "master" branch in the "sync" remote 
    git pull sync master

Setup a local branch called "github"track the "sync" remote's "master" branch
    git branch --set-upstream github sync/master

Now push the local "master" branch to the "origin" remote in Bitbucket.
    git push -u origin master

If your main branch loses track of your origin (when it's not master, e.g. main), you can set it back with:

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main

Make sure that you were in the target branch, in the above example: main.
