Connecting to GitBucket Repository with SSH

Question

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
