repo-to-bitbucket

A simple bash script for backing up local repositories to bitbucket private.

What does it do?

The script runs over a directory and checks if each subfolder is a git repo. If it is; it will stash any local changes then pull ALL remote branches down locally. It then creates a new private bitbucket repository for each local one. Then it as a new remote called bitbucket to each project. Finally it pushes all branches and tags to new repository on bitbucket.

How to use this?

1. Git clone the repo to somewhere sensible
2. Create a hidden .r2b-credentials.sh file in the $HOME dir of the user.

touch $HOME/.r2b-credentials.sh

3. Add the following to .r2b-credentials.sh replacing <YOUR_USER>, <YOUR_PASSWORD> and <YOUR_TEAM> to your BitBucket account credentials and Team name. Use the .r2b-credentials.example.sh as an example

export BITBUCKET_TEAM='<YOUR_TEAM>'
export BITBUCKET_USER='<YOUR_USER>'
export BITBUCKET_PASSWORD='<YOUR_PASSWORD>'

4. Symlink the full path to the scripts location to your bin directory so you can run the script from any dir.

sudo ln -s /full/path/to/repo-to-bitbucket/repo-to-bitbucket.sh /usr/local/bin/repo-to-bitbucket

5. Navigate to a folder containing a collection of other git repository and run the script using repo-to-bitbucket. For example file structure below shows a folder called my-git-projects which contains a bunch of other repositories. To back those up, run the script from my-git-projects.

.
+-- my-git-projects
|   +-- some-cool-app
|       +-- .git
|   +-- other-fun-app
|       +-- .git
|   +-- also-fun-app
|       +-- .git
