Fork GitHub Repo into Bitbucket Repor

[john peter]

I am reading those steps on how to Fork a GitHub repo into Bitbucket repo @ 

https://gist.github.com/hollygood/4e1cf4e3c5c21c40f0de9fd9b54996d3 ..

But i have those 2 questions: -

1) Are the steps valid? or there are other ways to achieve forking github repo into bitbucket?

2) I tested the steps, but could not find how i can push the local changes into bitbucket?

Hi John,

Forking is only supported for Bitbucket Cloud repositories, forking creates an upstream link between the repositories and allows you to sync changes between the fork/parent repo.

The guide you linked simply shows you how to duplicate repositories from Github into Bitbucket Cloud, there is no fork relationship here as this is not formally supported.

We had a feature request to include this functionality, but it was closed due to lack of interest in accordance with our feature request implementation guidelines. You can view the comments on this feature request for ideas that may allow you to achieve a workaround:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-3288

If your goal is to simply import the repository, you can import the repository using our import tool (no forking) which would achieve the same thing as the article you've linked above.

Cheers!
