Connecting to GitBucket Repository with SSH

[Harrison Greeves]

I've generated my SSH key locally and have copied and pasted it into the 'Add key' section in my GitBucket repo. 

However, to verify that my user credentials are synchronized, I need to run the following command: $ ssh -T git@bitbucket.org.

My question is, what do I put in place of that example URL? I've tried:

ssh -T git@bitbucket.org:greevesh/health_test_api.git

and 

ssh -T https://greevesh@bitbucket.org/greevesh/health_test_api.git

I get the following error message:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname bitbucket.org:greevesh/health_test_api.git: Name or service not known

I'm fairly confident I followed the steps correctly prior to getting to this stage. So, my guess would be that I'm not entering the correct path in the 'ssh -T' command.

Hi Harrison

to clone your repo you can use

git clone git@bitbucket.org:greevesh/health_test_api.git

you will need git commands to interact with the repo.

ssh can be used to check if bitbucket.org is reachable in general
