15:10:08 Remote Git clone failed: <class 'bitbucket.apps.asyncx.tasks.RepoImportTask.ImportException'>: Command failed. Return value: 128

Cause

Basic authorization is needed to run the repository import. For more information on the authentication for Github and Gitlab, please check our documentation: Import a repository from GitHub or GitLab.

Solution

1. Go to the repository import tool here.
2. Add the "Old Repository" URL.
3. Check the "Requires authorization" button to add the username and password details.
   
4. If an old repository is within the Bitbucket Cloud only, the username can be found by navigating to your profile avatar logo (on the top right corner) → Click Personal Settings → Under Bitbucket profile settings the Username will be there.
   
5. You will need to use an app password for the authentication. You can generate one if you don't have, yet by following the steps mentioned in the App passwords documentation page.

6. The successful repository import logs will be like below
