Step 1
First we need to generate SSH key. It will create both private & public key you can run the command below from any directory
ssh-keygen
Step 2
When you run the command it will ask you the name of file you any filename you give it will create two files. For suppose you give file name mykey then it will create mykey & mykey.pub
mykey will be private key and mykey.pub will be the public key
After that it will ask for a passphrase you can give any passphrase also you can just press enter if you don’t want to give any passphrase.
Step 3
After that it will create both the keys also it will show you the directory in which the keys are saved for suppose /root/.ssh/id_rsa
id_rsa is default name but when you go into the root/.ssh then ls command will show you your files
Step 4
Go into the keys directory and copy the key into any other folder like below
cp mykey.pub /var/www/html
It will copy the public key to html folder then you can read the content of the key and the copy it.
Step 5
Now the content of the public key needs to be pasted on bitbucket
open bitbucket and select any repository and then go into REPOSITORY SETTINGS
There you will see “Access Keys” option. Click on that and add the public key and save it.
Step 6
Now we need to add the key into our ssh so that during cloning it authenticate the keys.
To start the agent run the following command.
eval `ssh-agent`
It will show something like Agent pid …
Now we need to run the below command
ssh-add ~/.ssh/mykey
After adding the key. Now you will be able to make a clone of your bitbucket repository.
