Cloning a Bitbucket repository via ssh

Question

How do I clone a repository from Bitbucket via ssh instead of http ? I already have git installed in my local machine (Windows).

Answer 1

1. Generate an SSH key: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your-email-address"
2. Press Enter key until a randomart image is generated.
3. Log into Bitbucket -> View profile -> Manage account -> SSH keys -> Add key
4. Paste the key you have generated in Step 1 in the text box. To get the key, run the following command: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
5. Go to your repository -> Clone . Now you can see the SSH url for your repository. Copy it.
6. Clone your repository: git clone <ssh-url>
