Force username prompt in git clone

Curt Gratz

I want to setup a repo that has a remote without the username and would prompt for creditials when doing a pull/push. Is this possible with BitBucket. Something like

git clone https://bitbucket.org/teamname/repo.git

I think you need to update your version of Git.

I just tried to clone a repository from Bitbucket on one of my Linux boxes with Git 1.7.1 and received the same error that you did. I then tried to clone the same repository on another Linux box with Git 1.7.9.5 and was prompted for my username.

Curt: I ran the clone command you list and was prompted for my username and password. That also sets up the remote fetch and push URLs so that they prompt for credentials as well.

Are you getting an error or not seeing this behavior?

Curt Gratz

Yes, I get a 401 unathorized. If i put a username in the url like

git clone https://user@bitbucket.org/teamname/repo.git

Then it prompts for a password, but of course no username.

Which version of Git are you using (git --version)?

What operating system?

Curt Gratz

centos 6.4 and git 1.7.1

Could you paste the output of the git clone command?

I'm not sure why it's giving you the HTTP 401 error, unless you already have some credentials setup. Do you happen to have a ~/.netrc file setup for bitbucket?
