I want to contribute actively to a project that is hosted on Launchpad. I\'m much more comfortable with GitHub, and would like to continue to use it if possible. Would I be able

I have just written a detailed how-to for mirroring a Launchpad Bazaar repo to Github (note that it focuses on Mac users).

A minimal version of this how-to:

1. Install bazaar and a plugin to make it work with git

brew install bazaar
brew tap gdubicki/tap
brew install gdubicki/tap/bzr-git

2. Clone the Bazaar repository

# for example:
bzr branch lp:update-motd

3. Create the Git repository

You’ll need is the URL to the repo, in my case:

git+ssh://git@github.com/gdubicki/update-motd-for-non-ubuntu.git

4. Push the clone to the remote

cd update-motd # or whatever is the name of the Bazaar branch
PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages" bzr dpush -v git+ssh://git@github.com/gdubicki/update-motd-for-non-ubuntu.git,branch=master
