Bitbucket cloud to Bitbucket local/server migration query

[Swaminathan N]

While migrating from other repos to BB cloud, I can see an import repository option-where I give my old repos URL and import it into BB cloud. Is there any provision for doing the same into BB local/server? Also please suggest me the best practices to do the same if any exists.

Hello,

It looks like you asked a similar question a few days ago.

Since Bitbucket Server 4.9 we allow you to import repositories from the interface. 

You can read more about importing into Bitbucket Server. See Importing code from existing project

Hello Mark. Thank you for the clarity. I had a bit of confusion in this approach and I'm clear now.

That's awesome to hear! Glad to be of help.

Cheers!

Hello Mark,

     I tried out the steps and I'm getting an error like "permission not available" to carry out this process. Please tell me what is to be done in BB cloud for granting permission in order to carry out this step.

At what step did you receive this error?

Did you complete Step 2A for importing through the web interface?

As noted, you will first need to create an app password in Bitbucket Cloud. When you are creating the app password, you are also defining permissions for that password. At minimum you will need read access for team, project and repository.

Hi Mark,

   I skipped the step for creating App password and was giving my BB cloud p/w instead. Now  I have created the App p/w and provided the same in BB server. Now it is working absolutely fine. Thanks for the guidance Mark. Thanks a lot.

No worries. Glad to hear it is working for you.

Cheers,

Mark

However, after migration I get the following error when trying to make a clone: "fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: <htm fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly error 128" I run the following command: git clone https: //hostname/scm/ar/reponame.git
