There is no alternative to this. Your repositories are located at bitbucket.org/<username>/<repositoryname>. Changing the username obviously changes the URL for each repository.

If you want to keep the old URLs, you cannot rename your account.

Having new repository URLs shouldn’t be a too difficult problem though, and you can easily communicate this in your team. The fix is rather simple too:

git remote set-url origin [email protected]/<newusername>/<repositoryname>
