HTTPS or SSH?

Graham Shanks
Graham Shanks February 27, 2019

We are migrating our current project to a git repository hosted via Bitbucket Server running on one of our systems. Our developers are using git for windows, TortoiseGit and Visual Studio 2013 on Microsoft Windows 7. I've set up our test repository using SSH but run into a problem in that VC2013 does not support SSH. What issues would we run into if we switched to HTTPS? Or to put it another way: what are the differences between SSH and HTTPS from the user perspective?

We are not able to readily change the tools that we are using.

Hi Graham,

SSH and HTTPS can be used interchangeably - the only difference is that with SSH you can authenticate users using key authentication whereas HTTPS only support user/password authentication.
