Hello Jerome,

A great question about using your Bitbucket App password with GIT. We do have an answer for this which can be found in: How do I use the new app password for command line Git? 

To save time, here is a copy of Ben's answer:

Once you have generated the App Password in Personal Settings > App Password:

• Essentially, when connecting via HTTPS you will use your AppPassword 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

Here is further information on App Passwords.
