I have a repo that I've cloned from GitHub and want to have a mirror of this repo on BitBucket. Is there is any way how to do it? Something like having two origin in the repo as I think.

You could simply add a second remote:

git remote add bitbucket /url/to/am/empty/bitbucket/repo

and push everything to bitbucket:

git push --mirror bitbucket

You can actually pull from or push to multiple remotes from your local repo.

Update 2020:

As noted below in Rahulmohan Kolakandy's answer, if you are talking about an on-premise BitBucket server (as opposed to bitbucket.org), then you can take advantage of BitBucket Server Smart Mirroring.

As commented by V-Q-A NGUYEN:

BitBucket Server Smart Mirroring (introduced originally in 2016, and Oct. 2017 for BitBucket Server)

is only available for customers with an active Bitbucket Data Center license

The method explained here is better https://stackoverflow.com/a/12795747/988941

git remote set-url origin --add https://bitbucket.org/YOU/YOUR_REPO.git

Recent version of git handle multiple URLs in the same origin ;)

With Bitbucket Server, you can use ScriptRunner https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213250/scriptrunner-for-bitbucket-server-stash?hosting=server&tab=overview

Full Disclosure: I work for them :)

  • Nice, and even more to the point than my answer! Upvoted. Kind of reminds me of GitHub actions ;) – VonC Jul 08 '20 at 17:48

you no longer have to create these mirror links. Bitbucket has come up with this concept of smart mirror which does a real time sync to your mirror server.

Hope this helps!

You can also check the following (copy pasted from links below) ;

From How to properly mirror a git repository, you can use

git clone --mirror git@example.com/upstream-repository.git

cd upstream-repository.git

git push --mirror git@example.com/new-location.git

Or you can follow Duplicating a repository;

Open Terminal and create a bare clone of the repository.

git clone --bare https://github.com/exampleuser/old-repository.git

Mirror-push to the new repository.

cd old-repository.git
git push --mirror https://github.com/exampleuser/new-repository.git

Remove the temporary local repository you created in step 1.

cd ..
rm -rf old-repository.git
