Cannot connect to Bitbucket.org

[Yucheng Shang]

I am trying to clone a remote repo from bitbucket.org, but received the following message:

fatal: unable to access 'https://<username>@bitbucket.org:<username>/my_repo.git/': Cert verify failed: BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED

 It's strange and I'd assume the certificates of bitbucket.org are signed by a CA.

Hey Yucheng!

I can see that you appear to be having issues connecting to Bitbucket via HTTPS. 
Please try to make usage of an App Password when authenticating if this has not been done already by referring to the following documentation:
https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/

• Essentially, when connecting via HTTPS you will use your App Password alongside your username separated with a ":" character.
• Therefore if you are authenticating to GIT over HTTPS to push/pull you will need to update your remote URL's to include the App Password:
  git remote set-url origin https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git
• The same applies when performing git clone:
  git clone https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git

 If this still does not work, please share the error message you are receiving. Also, can you please try to authenticate using SSH to see if this makes a difference?

Cheers!
