How to use bash & git clone -c http.extraHeader='Authorization Bearer...'

[Michelle Anduaga-Arias]

Hello!

In Bitbucket I created a read only Authorization Bearer token.
When I use the command below in a bash script, I am prompted for my name and password.  I need to backup the repositories NOT using my credentials but a "group" credential. It is my understanding that this command *should* work to authenticate without having to enter my personal information.

git clone -c http.extraHeader='Authorization: Bearer ...foobar bubble babble...' --mirror https:bitbucketserver.com/scm/projectname/teamspace.git

How can I authenticate without needing to enter my credentials.

All suggestions welcome!

Personally I couldn't get the -c extraHeader method to work, so I ended up using a method similar to this:

git clone https://{username}:{access_token}@yourbitbucket.org/user/repo.git
