Hello Caroline,

This is my repository URL

https://bibhcket.org/jcrphx/simpletimeservice/src/master

As an anonymous user I found, that if I try to clone the repository via SSH I am getting the fatal message below,

git clone git@bitbucket.org:jcrphx/simpletimeservice.git
cloning into 'SimpletimeService'
git@bitbucket.org: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: could not read from remote repository.

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

but If I try via https ..it works fine as expected

git clone https://jcrphx@bitbucket.org/jcrphx/simpletimeservice.git

If this is the right behavior expected please then disregard and thank you very much for your support.

Juan-Carlos

Hi, @jcrphx!

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

I tested cloning a public repository and it didn’t ask me for a password, so in order to further investigate what's happening on your side, could you please share the following information with us?

* The repository URL, so we can confirm if there is something wrong with this repo;

* A screenshot that shows the clone command you are executing and the output;

* Are you cloning this repo from the command line/terminal or a Git client (if so, which one)?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Caroline
