How to import the result of a cvs2git migration into bitbucket

Question

I just finished successfully (I hope) the process of migrating my CVS repository to GIT.

Now I have a folder within there are files but I'm annoyed and a little bit stuck with it !

What I want to know now is what should I do to import the resulted repo (a lot of projects) to my bitbucket account and start using it instead of CVS ?

Thanks

Your folder has been transformed into a fully functional Git Repository. With a few commands you can publish your work on github.

First create a project on Bitbucket.org, you should get a link like this one: git@bitbucket.org:username/project.git

Now from a command line with the git executables, use the following commands:

git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:username/project.git

Which adds the location to the remote repository.

Then publish your work to bitbucket using the following command:

git push -u origin --all

This will push all branches to the bitbucket server.

Next time you want to update a branch, just use git push and the changes will be pushed

Update: If the imported repository contains multiple projects, you might want to split off the projects into it's own repositories. To accomplish this the subtree command can be used. More information here: Detach (move) subdirectory into separate Git repository

For each of these repositories to earlier commands can be used to add them to bitbucket.org
