To connect a GitHub repository with a Bitbucket repository, you can use the following steps:

1. First, make sure you have accounts on both GitHub and Bitbucket.
2. Create a new repository on Bitbucket if you haven’t already. Note down the repository URL.
3. On GitHub, navigate to the repository you want to connect to Bitbucket.
4. In the repository, click on “Settings” at the top-right corner.
5. In the left sidebar, select “Webhooks“.
6. Click on “Add webhook” or a similar button to create a new webhook.
7. In Bitbucket, open the repository you want to connect with GitHub.
8. In the left sidebar, go to “Settings” and select “Webhooks“.
9. Click on “Create webhook” or a similar button to create a new webhook.
10. In both GitHub and Bitbucket webhook creation forms, enter the following details:
    • Payload URL: The URL that the webhook will send requests to. For Bitbucket, use the Bitbucket repository URL. For GitHub, use the GitHub repository URL.
    • Content Type: Select “application/json”.
    • Events/Triggers: Choose the events for which you want the webhook to trigger actions. For example, “push” event to trigger on new commits.
11. Save the webhook on both platforms.

Now, whenever an event occurs in the repository, the webhook will be triggered and send a request to the connected repository.
