Transfer repo from Bitbucket to Github

Update remote repo

$ cd $HOME/Code/repo-directory
$ git remote rename origin bitbucket
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/mandiwise/awesome-new-repo.git
$ git push origin master

$ git remote rm bitbucket

At least for me, it was no longer possible to migrate using GitHub importer. Perhaps because the authentication is now using API tokens and no longer App passwords, no idea, it just throws "something went wrong" with no clear explanation of what was wrong. Resorted to as simple as

git clone <bitbucket url>
git remote add github <github url>
git push github --all
git push github --tags

In my case I just needed to migrate because of the recent email of Atlassian removing the repositories. A bit more painful for "more repositories", but surely it would be pretty easy to automate yourself, including ability to handle 100 or whatever amount of repos.
