How can I migrate an application from GitHub to Launchpad?

Question

I am working on a new Ubuntu application.

I would like to migrate it from GitHub to Launchpad.

The reason why I added it to GitHub and not to Launchpad is that I had some issues saving it with quickly (some bzr-related problem probably). So I deleted my .bzr folder.

What is the easiest way to add it to Launchpad and bzr now?

Answer 1

From this probably duplicate:

Launchpad supports importing git code directly since 2016-10-16, see the doc for setup instructions.

A note: if 1084403 bug still open when you're reading this, don't forget to clean your bzr import settings from old setup or you couldn't set a recipe for git code even if it's there.

Answer 2

The easiest thing to do is probably to do so using bzr-git.

Clone the repository that is currently on GitHub:

$ bzr branch git://github.com/umpirsky/revision-monitor

After that you can push it to Launchpad, assuming you've created a project on Launchpad named 'revision-monitor':

$ cd revision-monitor
$ bzr push lp:revision-monitor
