Transition Steps

For All Developers

1. Before March 12 — Push all your branches and WIP to Bitbucket upstream
2. Set up SSH keys for GitHub (see Prerequisites)
3. After cutoff — Clone repos from GitHub and update your local remotes

Updating Your Local Remote

Once a repo is migrated, update your remote URL:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:<org>/<repo>.git

Verify with:

git remote -v

FAQ

Q: Can I still push to Bitbucket after March 12? A: No. After the cutoff, all new commits should go to GitHub.

Q: What if I have open PRs on Bitbucket? A: Merge or close them before the cutoff. Any unmerged work should be rebased onto the GitHub repo after migration.

Q: Do I need a new SSH key for GitHub? A: If you already have an SSH key, you can add the same public key to GitHub. You don't need to generate a new one unless you prefer to.
