This helped me move from one git provider to another. At the end of it, all the commits were in the destination git. Simple and straight forward.

git remote rename origin bitbucket
git remote add origin https://github.com/edwardaux/Pipelines.git
git push origin master

Once I was happy that the push had been successful to GitHub, I could delete the old remote by issuing:

git remote rm bitbucket

It's very simple.

1º Create a new empty repository in GitHub (without readme or licesne, you can add them before) and the following screen will show

2º Inside to import code option you paste your bitbucket URL's repo and voilà!!
