User alias not working

Bekim_phe5ln

I have an alias set for my account, however when I push to my repo I see this warning:

remote: Warning!
remote: Your account does not have an email address associated with it

git config looks good on my dev machine, and is using the alias name and email

Hi @Bekim and welcome to the community.

When you say you have set an alias for your account, do you mean an email alias? Or a username alias in a repo's Settings? Or something different?

If you set an email alias for your Bitbucket Cloud account or a username alias in a repo's settings, this shouldn't affect your ability to push.

I would like to ask for some additional info, so we can investigate this issue:

1. Are you trying to push to your repo via HTTPS or SSH?

If you're not sure, you can run git remote -v in your local clone of the repo, and see if the URL listed there is an HTTPS or an SSH one.

2. I can find in our system a Bitbucket Cloud account with the same email as the community account you used to create your question. Is this the account that you access the repo with on Bitbucket website? Or does the issue concern a different Bitbucket Cloud account?

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hello Theodora! I should have been more clear. I have an email alias setup on my Personal Settings https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/email/ Do I need to set this up per repo? I must have thought that it would work on any repo.

To test this, I added my alias to https://bitbucket.org/<workspace-id>/<repo-slug> in the repo settings and I still get the message I first noted.

1. I am using SSH

2. My primary account is <removed_email>, my email alias is <removed_email>

Hi @Bekim,

Thank you for your reply and info. Just a heads up, I removed the emails, workspace-id, and repo-slug from your reply for privacy reasons.

It is not necessary to set up the email alias on every repo, I only asked for more details to make sure I have a correct understanding of what you did. Setting an email alias for your Bitbucket Cloud account should map any commits with this email as author to your account. However, it doesn't seem likely that the alias has to do with this warning you see.

I can see in our system that both your Bitbucket Cloud account and also the workspace you mentioned have SSH keys. One possible reason I can think of for this warning is that you may be authenticating with the SSH keys of the workspace, instead of the ones of your account.

If you run the following command on a terminal on this machine:

ssh -T git@bitbucket.org

The output should include a line like "logged in as <username>". Do you see in that line the username of your Bitbucket account or the workspace-id of the workspace that owns the repo?

Also, do you have only one SSH key pair on this machine or multiple ones?

Kind regards,
Theodora

Theodora,

When running that command I see the workspace name. Does that mean I have to setup my own personal SSH key? This is the only key I have.
