How pull changes from github to bitbucket after initial import?

Question

When I first created my new repository at bitbucket I used the option of importing source from github (Import existing code). However that git repo has now updated and I would like to pull those changes and update my repo at bitbucket too. How can I do that?

You need to:

clone your BitBucket repo locally

add a remote referencing your GitHub repo

git remote add github /url/of/github/repo

pull from that github repo
```
git pull github master
```
push back to bitbucket
```
git push -u origin master
```

I had the same issue. I have deleted the old repository from bitbucket and than i could reclone it/import it from github to bitbucket.

Simple like that.

This would mean you would lose any changes you had made at bitbucket – Andy Jul 26 '17 at 19:42
that is correct! ii had all my info into git and created a bit account, just because i can hAve the code in private, without having to pay a fee. – Cohen Jul 26 '17 at 19:43
