How to migrate a single project from source Bitbucket Cloud instance to a fresh target Bitbucket Cloud instance.

Hi @princejhcl,

If the repository is not using Git LFS you can transfer it to a different workspace using the steps mentioned in the following doc:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/transfer-repository-ownership/

Please keep in mind the following:

• If you are using Bitbucket Pipelines and Deployment variables with this repo, the deployment variables do not get transferred at the moment. Take note of them before you transfer, so you can recreate them after the transfer.
  
  
• The repo URL will change after the transfer, so all users who work on this repo will need to update the config of their local repo after the transfer with the new repository URL. Details are provided in the doc I shared above, section "Update local configuration files with the new repository URL".
  
  
• You will need to set up user access to the repo after it is transferred.
  
  
• If the repo is using Git LFS, it cannot be transferred. You can find a workaround on the following page, "Repositories can not be transferred":
  • https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/current-limitations-for-git-lfs-with-bitbucket/

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Kind regards,
Theodora
