How to Push A Local Repo to Bitbucket?

To push a local repository to Bitbucket, you first need to navigate to the directory of your local repository using the command line. Once in the directory, use the command git remote add origin <Bitbucket_repository_link> to add Bitbucket as a remote repository. Next, use the command git add . to stage all changes in your local repository. Then, run the command git commit -m "Your commit message" to commit the changes. Finally, use the command git push -u origin master to push the changes to the Bitbucket repository. You may be prompted to enter your Bitbucket username and password during the process. After successfully pushing the changes, your local repository will be synced with your Bitbucket repository.

How to set up SSH keys for Git authentication?

To set up SSH keys for Git authentication, follow these steps:

1. Generate SSH keys:

• Open your terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on macOS or Linux) and run the following command:

1

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

• You will be prompted to choose a location to save the keys. Press Enter to save them in the default location (~/.ssh/id_rsa).
• You can also set a passphrase for added security, but it is optional.

1. Add SSH key to ssh-agent:

• Start the ssh-agent by running the command:

1

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

• Add your SSH key to the ssh-agent with the command:

1

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

1. Add SSH key to your Git provider:

• Copy the SSH public key to your clipboard:

1

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

• Login to your Git provider (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) and go to your account settings.
• Find the SSH keys section and click on "Add SSH key" or "New SSH key".
• Paste your SSH public key into the field and save it.

1. Test the connection:

• Check if the SSH key is set up correctly by running:

1

ssh -T git@github.com

• You should see a message saying "Hi username! You've successfully authenticated".

Now your SSH keys are set up for Git authentication, and you can start using Git with secure SSH authentication.
