Git on Bitbucket: Always asked for password, even after uploading my public SSH key

Are you sure you cloned it using the ssh url?

The url for origin says url = https://[email protected]/Nicolas_Raoul/therepo.git so if it is using https it will ask for password irrespective of your ssh keys.

So what you want to do is the following:

open your config file in your current repo ..

vim .git/config

and change the line with the url from

[remote "origin"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        url = https://[email protected]/Nicolas_Raoul/therepo.git

to

[remote "origin"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        url = [email protected]:Nicolas_Raoul/therepo.git

As explained here, if you clone with SSH url, you don't need to enter username / password each time you push / pull. Check above answer by @manojlds

But if you want to clone with HTTPS and want to avoid entering username / password each time, you can store credentials into cache with below command:

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout 3600'

where 3600 (seconds) means 1 hour, you may change it as per your requirement.


Its already answered above. I will summarise the steps to check above.

run git remote -v in project dir. If the output shows remote url starting with https://abc then you may need username password everytime.

So to change the remote url run git remote set-url origin {ssh remote url address starts with mostly [email protected]:}.

Now run git remote -v to verify the changed remote url.
