git clone failing

[jlaturnu]

i'm trying to clone a public repo off my bitbucket server. it keeps asking for my password even though it is public. when i enter the corresponding password for the account it is requesting access to (even though i don't think i should need the password) it says denied. i am entering the correct password for that account.

Hi John! If the repo is public, it shouldn't be asking you for the password. Can you double check that?

Also, are you cloning over SSH or HTTPS? If you're using the SSH protocol, ensure your public key is in Bitbucket and loaded on the local system to which you're cloning.

You can you run this command from your terminal, it will attempt to create a connection to Bitbucket for Git and tell you which username is using:

ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org

Let us know if that helped you!
