I've scoured several different posts but there doesn't appear to be any that match with this exact issue of an "apparent" branch renaming occurring but nothing seeming to line up.
Essentially, I've been trying to delete a remote branch off of an enterprise git version but I've been getting rejected and I was wondering if there was any additional steps I can try out?
here is the following CLI information:
| => git branch -a
* master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/releases/v1.7.2_log4j2
(base)
| ~/Documents/<repo> # (user)
| => git push origin -d releases/v1.7.2_log4j2
To https://github.<company>.com/<org>/<repo>.git
! [remote rejected] releases/v1.7.2_log4j2 (branch releases/v1.7.2_log4j2 is being renamed)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.<company>.com/<org>/<repo>.git'
My git version: 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128).
EDIT: there are no branch protection rules that apply to this branch and I have tried the command in the suggestions of git push -d origin releases<1.7.2_log4j2 with the same result
This looks like a github issue. There is a github-community thread where someone got the exact same message and it turned out to be a flag that was set within the github system that marked the branch as being renamed at the moment. They had to ask the github-support to clear that flag and then were able to delete the branch.
You seem to have your parameters backwards. Try
git push -d origin releases/v1.7.2_log4j2
I am observing that the yocto build system is just applying my patch instead of applying and committing the patch on the cloned git repo.
Original bitbake (u-boot-ti-staging_2018.01.bb) file.
require u-boot-ti.inc
PR = "r19"
BRANCH = "ti-u-boot-2018.01"
SRCREV = "8b2f1df4b55bc0797399a21d42ac191d44f99227"
Modified bitbake file, added SRC_URI to the file.

I have added a patch file under files directory. The content of the patch (0001-Stopping-DHCP-server-giving-new-serverip.patch) file is as follows.

Subject: [PATCH] Stopping DHCP server giving new serverip
Added CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP in the config file, this
stops the DHCP server gives new "serverip" address and
overrides the current one.

The patch is applying like someone is executing a "git apply 0001-Stopping-DHCP-server-giving-new-serverip.patch" command on top of the cloned git repo as show below. But rather I want that the patch must be applied like someone is executing a "git am 0001-Stopping-DHCP-server-giving-new-serverip.patch" command on top of the cloned git repo.
git status
On branch ti-u-boot-2018.01
Your branch is behind 'origin/ti-u-boot-2018.01' by 23 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
(use "git pull" to update your local branch)
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: include/configs/am335x_evm.h
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
I want this patch to be applied and committed on top of the cloned git repo. How to achieve that under a bitbake file?
Yocto by default uses quilt when no patch tool is specified. You can specify
PATCHTOOL = "git"
in your recipe, so that Yocto automatically applies it using "git am".
See here for more details.
NOTE: This functionality will start adding an extra line to the patch's description like "%%original patch: 0001-Stopping-DHCP-server-giving-new-serverip.patch" while applying the patch. To get rid of it, comment the below line under "oe-core/meta/lib/oe/patch.py" file.

I don't know what the argument would be.
I have never used GitBash or any of these programs. I have no idea what the proper commands would be to resolve the issue. I am also new to Git and have very little experience with it.
git svn clone http://my-project.googlecode.com/svn/ \

As long as it makes a repo I can push I don't care how I do it. However, I did not start with a standard setup in the beginning and no idea what I was doing. So I want the clone to start at commit 1 and consider root as master, and all commits that make any kind of folder, rename folders, move folders, delete folders, all of everything created as branches.
After asking some friends I realized I had been using the wrong URL.
svn2git http://skyrim-plugin-decoding-project.googlecode.com/svn/ --rootistrunk --revision 1:1693 --authors ~/authors.txt --verbose
That would have been the correct init statment
What is the best way to move a Git repository with all branches and full history from Bitbucket to GitHub?
Is there a script or a list of commands I have to use?
It's very simple.
Create a new empty repository in GitHub (without a README or license, you can add them later) and the following screen will show.
In the import code option, paste your Bitbucket repository's URL and voilà!!
You can refer to the GitHub page "Duplicating a repository"
It uses:
git clone --mirror: to clone every references (commits, tags, branches)
git push --mirror: to push everything
That would give:
git clone --mirror https://bitbucket.org/exampleuser/repository-to-mirror.git
# Make a bare mirrored clone of the repository
cd repository-to-mirror.git
git remote set-url --push origin https://github.com/exampleuser/mirrored
# Set the push location to your mirror
git push --mirror
As Noted in the comments by L S:
it is easier to use the Import Code feature from GitHub described by MarMass.
See https://github.com/new/import
Unless... your repo includes a large file: the problem is, the import tool will fail without a clear error message. Only GitHub Support would be able to diagnose what happened.
In case you couldn't find the "Import code" button on GitHub, you can:
Directly open GitHub Importer and enter the URL. It will look like:
Give it a name (or it will import the name automatically)
Select Public or Private repository
Click Begin Import
In May 2016, GitHub announced the ability to "Import repositories with large files".
Se Moving Repository from Bitbucket to GitHub.
This helped me move from one Git provider to another. At the end of it, all the commits were in the destination Git repository. Simple and straightforward.
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
I had the reverse use case of importing an existing repository from GitHub to Bitbucket.
Bitbucket offers an Import tool as well. The only necessary step is to add URL to repository.
It looks like:
There is the Importing a repository with GitHub Importer
If you have a project hosted on another version control system as Mercurial, you can automatically import it to GitHub using the GitHub Importer tool.
In the upper-right corner of any page, click, and then click Import repository.
Under "Your old repository's clone URL", type the URL of the project you want to import.
Choose your user account or an organization to own the repository, then type a name for the repository on GitHub.
Specify whether the new repository should be public or private.
Public repositories are visible to any user on GitHub, so you can benefit from GitHub's collaborative community.
Public or private repository radio buttonsPrivate repositories are only available to the repository owner, as well as any collaborators you choose to share with.
Review the information you entered, then click Begin import.
You'll receive an email when the repository has been completely imported.
Importing your projects to GitHub
Importing a repository with GitHub Importer
I found this question several months ago when I was trying to do the same thing, and was underwhelmed by the answers given. They all seemed to deal with importing from Bitbucket to GitHub one repository at a time, either via commands issued à la carte, or via the GitHub importer.
I grabulated the code from a GitHub project called gitter and modified it to suite my needs.
You can fork the gist, or take the code from here:

Then, to use the script:
# create a list of repos
foo
bar
baz
# execute the script, iterating over your list
while read p; do ./bitbucket-to-github.rb -a -n $p; done<repos
# good enough
In case you want to move your local Git repository to another upstream, you can also do this:
To get the current remote URL:
git remote get-url origin
will show something like:
https://bitbucket.com/git/myrepo
To set new remote repository:
git remote set-url origin git#github.com:folder/myrepo.git
now push contents of current (develop) branch:
git push --set-upstream origin develop
You now have a full copy of the branch in the new remote.
Optionally, return to original git-remote for this local folder:
git remote set-url origin https://bitbucket.com/git/myrepo
It gives the benefit you can now get your new Git repository from GitHub in another folder so that you have two local folders both pointing to the different remotes, the previous (Bitbucket) and the new one both available.
I made the following Bash script in order to clone all of my Bitbucket (user) repositories to GitHub as private repositories.
Requirements:
jq (command-line JSON processor) | macOS: brew install jq
Steps:
Go to Personal access tokens and create an access token. We only need the "repo" scope.
Save the move_me.sh script in a working folder and edit the file as needed.
Don't forget to chmod 755
Run! ./move_me.sh
Enjoy the time you have saved.
Notes:
It will clone the Bitbucket repositories inside the directory the script resides (your working directory).
This script does not delete your Bitbucket repositories.
Need to move to public repositories on GitHub?

Happy moving.

Here are the steps to move a private Git repository:
Step 1: Create a GitHub repository
First, create a new private repository on GitHub. It’s important to keep the repository empty, e.g., don’t check option Initialize this repository with a README when creating the repository.
Step 2: Move existing content
Next, we need to fill the GitHub repository with the content from our Bitbucket repository:
Check out the existing repository from Bitbucket:
git clone https://USER#bitbucket.org/USER/PROJECT.git
Add the new GitHub repository as upstream remote of the repository checked out from Bitbucket:
cd PROJECT
git remote add upstream https://github.com:USER/PROJECT.git
Push all branches (below: just master) and tags to the GitHub
repository:
git push upstream master
git push --tags upstream
Step 3: Clean up the old repository
Finally, we need to ensure that developers don’t get confused by having two repositories for the same project. Here is how to delete the Bitbucket repository:
Double-check that the GitHub repository has all content
Go to the web interface of the old Bitbucket repository
Select menu option Setting → Delete repository
Add the URL of the new GitHub repository as the redirect URL
With that, the repository completely settled into its new home at GitHub. Let all the developers know!
Following on from #MarMass' answer, if the GitHub importer is constantly redirecting you to the authentication screen, you'll need to create an App Password in BitBucket in order to import your private repository:
Go to Bitbucket > Personal Settings > App Passwords.
Create an app password with repository read access.
When prompted for your username/password in the GitHub importer, enter your BitBucket username, and the token created above as your password.
After managing to sort out the authentication issue, my imports also errored out with the following message: "There was an error pushing commits to GitHub.".
The issue here, at least for me, was that my GitHub account was set to "Block command line pushes that expose my email", and the repository I was attempting to import from Bitbucket contained commits from my personal email address. After temporarily disabling this setting (GitHub > Settings > Email) I was good to go.
The simplest way of doing it:
git remote rename origin repo_bitbucket
git remote add origin https://github.com/abc/repo.git
git push origin master
Once the push to GitHub is successful, delete the old remote by running:
git remote rm repo_bitbucket
In my github repo's readme.md file I have a Travis-CI badge. I use the following link:
https://travis-ci.org/joegattnet/joegattnet_v3.png?branch=staging
The obvious problem is that the branch is hardcoded. Is it possible to use some sort of variable so that the branch is the one currently being viewed?
Not that I know of.
GitHub support confirms (through OP Joe Gatt 's comment)
The only way to do this would be to pass the link through my own service which would use the github's http referrer header to determine which branch is being referenced and then fetch the appropriate image from Travis CI
I would rather make one Travis-CI badge per branch, for the reader to choose or consider the appropriate when seeing the README.md.
Update 2016 (3 years later): while nothing has changed on the GitHub side, fedorqui reports in the workaround mentioned in "Get Travis Shield on Github to Reflect Selected Branch Status" by Andrie.
Simply display all the branches and their respective TravisCI badges.
If you have only two or three branches, that could be enough.
I worked around this issue with a git pre-commit hook that re-writes the Travis line in the README.md with the current branch. An example of usage and pre-commit (Python) code (for the question as asked) are below.

I updated the work of Dan Dye so it's now able to change any git variable into a readme. It also works now with python 3. For example, handling badges by branch for Github actions:
[![Integration Tests](https://github.com/{{ repository.name }}/actions/workflows/integration-tests.yaml/badge.svg?branch={{ current.branch }})](https://github.com/{{ repository.name }}/actions/workflows/integration-tests.yaml?query=branch%3A{{ current.branch }})
And in your pre-commit file add:
.githooks/replace_by_git_vars.py readme.md README.md -v
-v displays the available variables and more

Thanks a lot for the solution and inspiration!
The best solution for me was to create a server where I send a query with username and repo's name and get a svg image with the build status for all branches.
