Hi @Praneeth Gujja,

Based on the output, it looks that Bitbucket Cloud is not able to reach your Bitbucket Server instance. If you're using a firewall on your server, I would suggest talking with your network administrator and see if it's possible to whitelist the IP addresses for Bitbucket Cloud, to make the connection possible:

If this is not possible, e.g. due to a company policy, another thing you can do is:

1. Create an empty repository in Bitbucket Cloud.
In the create repository page, make sure you select No for the options Include a README? and Include .gitignore?, so that the repo is empty.

2. Take a mirror clone of the Bitbucket Server repo, using the --mirror option in the clone command

git clone --mirror <SOURCE-URL>

3. Then, push that mirror clone to the empty Bitbucket Cloud repo

git push --mirror <TARGET-URL>

In case your Bitbucket Server repo uses Git LFS, additional steps will be needed. The process for a repo with LFS would be:

1. Create an empty repository in Bitbucket Cloud.
In the create repository page, make sure you select No for the options Include a README? and Include .gitignore?, so that the repo is empty.

2. Take a mirror clone of the Bitbucket Server repo, using the --mirror option in the clone command

git clone --mirror <SOURCE-URL>

3. Fetch all LFS objects in your mirror clone, by executing the following command inside the directory of the mirror clone:

git lfs fetch origin --all

4. Then, push that mirror clone to the empty Bitbucket Cloud repo

git push --mirror <TARGET-URL>
git lfs push --all <TARGET-URL>

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
