HOWTO change URL on a repo in Bitbucket.

John Brumbelow

Please help,

 

We have created a repo in Bitbucket.org, but the URL shows the owner's personnel name. After an extensive search and many efforts to try and use repo settings, there does not appear to be anything to let one change the url.

All documentation on-line from bitbucket.org, does not show something that actually exists on the same bitbucket.org screens to change the url.

Hi

I'm assuming you are referring https://username@bitbucket.org/rog/repo.git style URLs?

Bit bucket will always serve you up with a URL of this form, based on the currently logged in user. However https://bitbucket.org/rog/repo.git is a valid URL as well.

You can change your local copy of this in Sourcetree in the Repository Settings, behind the cog in the upper left. But be aware the credential management  in Git makes use of the URL, if you are using more than 1 set of credentials to access Bitbucket.org you should really continue to use the username prefixed URL to avoid confusiuon.
