Bitbucket Git Push Error

Question

After I changed password for my bitbucket account, I can't seem to push anything to the repository. I can pull, add, commit but not push.

I used to clone using https and whenever I push, it would say

Remote: unauthorized Fatal: Authentication failed for url. 

I search for this on google and stack overflow for 2 days, none of the solution worked.

So I decided to try SSH. I follow instruction to generate an SSH-Key and add it to bitbucket.
However as soon as I push it gave me:

repository access denied.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists."

Any idea on what to do?

Answer 1

Regarding https, double-check if you have a credential helper which would have cached your credentials:

git config credential.helper

As explained in " How to sign out in Git Bash console in Windows? ", this would remove the credentials:

git credential-manager delete https://bitbucket.org

Regarding ssh, double-check your key is proposed with:

set GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v"
git push

I'm going to take a wild guess: you're on macOS version 10.12 or later, right?

Apple changed the behavior of ssh-agent as of Sierra so that it no longer adds keys automatically. You can change this in one of several ways:

• Add ssh-add -A to your .rc file (usually .bashrc, sometimes something else). This will add identities from your keychain to the ssh-agent. (You can add identities to the keychain with ssh-add -K .)
• Update ~/.ssh/config to include something like this:

Host bitbucket.org IdentityFile /path/to/private/key AddKeysToAgent yes

(The SSH config file is a powerful tool, but different systems may have different options. Read man ssh_config to see which options you have available on a given system.)
