Those are *suggestions* of what you should run. It doesn't do
anything, and obviously you shouldn't do `git switch HEAD`.

The error message is pretty much telling you what to do:
git push hg-remote remotes/origin/modernize:refs/heads/modernize

But you can clone it once, set up all the branches once, push all the
branches ini order once, and forget about that step.
After that you can just pull from one repo and push to another.
