Setting Up SSH Keys for Bitbucket

1. Check for Existing SSH Keys

Open a terminal and check for existing keys by running the following command:

ls -al ~/.ssh

Look for files named id_ed25519 and id_ed25519.pub.

2. Generate a New SSH Key Pair

If you don't have an existing key, generate a new one by running the following command:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

Make sure to replace [email protected] with your actual email address.

3. Add Your SSH Public Key to Bitbucket

  • Display and copy your public key by running the following command:
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
  • Log into your Bitbucket account.
  • Go to: Avatar (bottom left) > Personal settings > SSH keys.
  • Click on the "Add key" button and paste your public key.

4. Test the Connection

Test the connection by running the following command:

ssh -T [email protected]

If you see a welcome message, it means that the connection was successful.

5. Configure Git to Use SSH (if needed)

In your repository directory, run the following command to configure Git to use SSH:

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:username/reponame.git

Make sure to replace username and reponame with your actual username and repository name.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, ensure that the SSH agent has the right key by running the following commands:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

That's it! You can now enjoy password-less Git operations with Bitbucket. 😊
