Create new repo on Bitbucket from Git Bash terminal?

Question

Is it possible to create a new repository in Bitbucket by using command line Git? I have tried the following:

git clone --bare https://username@bitbucket.org         


        

Answer 1

I've made a slight modification to @pztrick above script. This new script should work the same, but it uses the newer 2.0 API:

function startbitbucket {
    echo 'Username?'
    read username
    echo 'Password?'
    read -s password  # -s flag hides password text
    echo 'Repo name?'
    read reponame

    curl -X POST -v -u $username:$password  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/$username/$reponame \
  -d '{"scm": "git", "is_private": "true", "fork_policy": "no_public_forks" }'

    git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:$username/$reponame.git
    git push -u origin --all
    git push -u origin --tags
}

You can place this in your .bashrc or .bash_aliases file (just like the original script).

Note that it will also create this as a private repo. You can change "is_private": "true" to "is_private": "false" to make it a public repo.
