Bitbucket Cloud SSH Host Keys replacement

[aviklein]

Hi, I replaced my keys yesterday like explained in this blog post: https://bitbucket.org/blog/ssh-host-key-changes

Even since, when I want to pull- I get this message:

Offending key for IP in /home/master/.ssh/known_hosts:3
Matching host key in /home/master/.ssh/known_hosts:7

Then I need to approve the pull. Every time.
How can I fix this (remove the offending key)?

There is no explanation in the post.

Thanks

Hello @aviklein ,

The warning message you are receiving is likely related to old entries on your known_hosts file that are pointing to the bitbucket IP, instead of the domain name bitbucket.org.

To resolve this issue, you can remove the older entries and store the new ones using the following command : 

ssh-keygen -R bitbucket.org && sed -i.old -e '/AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAubiN81eDcafrgMeLzaFPsw2kNvEcqTKl/d' ~/.ssh/known_hosts && curl https://bitbucket.org/site/ssh >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

This is also covered in our Bitbucket Cloud SSH rotation FAQ.

Thank you, @aviklein !
