Summary
Once you have set up a smart mirror, you'll notice that Bitbucket Server provides a git clone url for you by default which may look something like:
1
git clone ssh://git@someMirrorHostname.net:7999/bitbucket1/someProject/someRepo.gitYou may, however, want something other than what Bitbucket Server has generated in the the upstreamidentifierpart of the clone URL.
Solution
Resolution
Install Mirror
Before starting mirror add the following to the $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/bitbucket.properties file:
1
plugin.mirroring.upstream.namespace=<custom-upstream-identifier>
The <custom-upstream-identifier> bit will replace the Bitbucket Server generated upstream identifierportion of the clone URL.
