Migrating a Git repository to a new remote

GitHub now offers free private repos, so I will be migrating my projects over from Bitbucket. Mostly to test out the CI/CD integration with Heroku.

Here is a quick guide on how I did that:

• git pull
• Create your new repository on GitHub
• git remote add new-origin <new repository URL>
• git push --all new-origin
• Verify that entire history has been pushed
• Each local needs to run the following:
  • git remote remove origin
  • git remote rename new-origin origin
  • git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master
