how to change and clone using HTTPS

[Ben]

Hey Suprava,

Bitbucket cloud recently stopped supporting the usage of basic GIT username/password authentication in favour of App Passwords.

Therefore, you will need to make use of an App Password for communicating to GIT via HTTPS.

We have documentation for usage of app passwords at the following link:

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/#Create-an-app-password

Essentially, when connecting via *HTTPS* you will use your AppPassword alongside your username seperated with a ":" character.

Therefore if you are authenticating to *GIT over HTTPS* to push/pull you will need to update your remote URL's to include the *AppPassword*:

git remote set-url origin https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git

The same applies when performing git clone:

git clone https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git

 Hope this helps.

Cheers!
