How to transfer git repo from Bitbucket to Github in Android Studio?

Question

So I have an Android Studio project that I have on Bitbucket that I'm having trouble moving to Github. So far I've imported the project to Github using its import feature and changed the origin using "git remote set-url". Now every time I try to push & commit using Android Studio I get the error "fatal: Could not read from repository". Also I don't know if it has anything to do with the problem but I have tried to change the SSH executable from built-in to native.

Edit: To clarify, the problem I'm having is committing and pushing using Android Studio. Everything works fine if I use git commands but when I use the Android Studio interface the "fatal: Could not read from repository" error pops up.

The GitHub project has all the contents of the Bitbucket project minus one or two commits, and I'm using ssh addresses — user1840378, Aug 29 '16 at 20:08

I suggest creating separate remotes rather than changing the URL for origin. For example, you can do

git remote add bitbucket <URL for BitBucket repo>
git remote add github <URL for GitHub Repo>

Now you can pull and push from each remote as you wish. For example

git checkout master
git pull bitbucket master
git push github master
