Use own username/password with git and bitbucket

Question

I\'m in a team of three; two are working locally, and I am working on the server.

My coworker set up the account, but gave me full privileges to the repository.

Answer 1

The prompt:

Password for 'https://theirusername@bitbucket.org':

suggests, that you are using https not ssh. SSH urls start with git@, for example:

git@bitbucket.org:beginninggit/alias.git

Even if you work alone, with a single repo that you own, the operation:

git push

will cause:

Password for 'https://theirusername@bitbucket.org':

if the remote origin starts with https.

Check your remote with:

git remote -v

The remote depends on git clone. If you want to use ssh clone the repo using its ssh url, for example:

git clone git@bitbucket.org:user/repo.git

I suggest you to start with git push and git pull for your private repo.

If that works, you have two joices suggested by Lazy Badger:

• Pull requests
• Team work
