I just found the answer. This page helped but I had to do additional steps to make it work.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/ssh-keys-935365775.html

I changed the repository path from "ssh://git@bitbucket.org" to "git@bitbucket.org" as suggested in the "Git/SSH" table but got the following error instead:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin
fatal: 'git@bitbucket.org/repository.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

 

Completed with errors, see above.

Since this wasn't working, I tried again, after deleting the content of my local repository and got it working.

Hope this helps someone,
