I see no import option when I create a repo at github. How can I add meta data from an existing repository when migrating. I'm migrating from Bitbucket Cloud

Using GitHub Importer
Go to the GitHub Importer Tool:

Visit GitHub Importer.
Provide the URL of Your Bitbucket Repository:

In the “Your old repository’s clone URL” field, enter the HTTPS URL of your Bitbucket repository. For example: https://bitbucket.org/username/repository.git.
Authenticate If Necessary:

If your Bitbucket repository is private, you'll need to provide your Bitbucket credentials.
Start the Import:

Click the "Begin import" button and wait for the process to complete. GitHub will import your repository along with all its metadata (commits, branches, tags).
Manual Migration Using Git
If you prefer to manually migrate your repository and its metadata from Bitbucket to GitHub, you can do so using Git commands:

Clone Your Bitbucket Repository Locally:

bash
Copiar código
git clone --mirror https://bitbucket.org/username/repository.git
The --mirror option ensures you get all branches, tags, and the complete history.

Create a New Repository on GitHub:

Go to GitHub and create a new repository. Do not initialize it with a README, .gitignore, or license.
Push the Local Clone to GitHub:

bash
Copiar código
cd repository.git
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/new-repository.git
git push --mirror
This sets the new GitHub repository as the origin and pushes all branches, tags, and commit history to GitHub.

Steps Summary:
Clone the Bitbucket repository:
bash
Copiar código
git clone --mirror https://bitbucket.org/username/repository.git
Create a new repository on GitHub.
Set the new GitHub repository as the remote origin and push:
bash
Copiar código
cd repository.git
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/new-repository.git
git push --mirror
Notes:
Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access and clone the Bitbucket repository and to push to the new GitHub repository.
Credentials: You may need to provide your credentials for both Bitbucket and GitHub during this process.
