How to Change Git Terminal Credentials In Bitbucket?

4 minutes read

To change git terminal credentials in Bitbucket, you can use the following steps.


Firstly, open your Command Prompt or Terminal and enter the command:

1

git config --global credential.helper cache


This command will cache your credentials for a certain period of time.


If you want to store your credentials permanently, you can use the following command:

1

git config --global credential.helper store


This will store your credentials in a plaintext file on your computer.


If you want to update your credentials, you can use the command:

1

git credential reject


This will clear the cached credentials and prompt you to enter new credentials the next time you interact with the repository.


Remember to replace any placeholders in the commands with your actual Bitbucket username and password.


How to change Bitbucket authentication in Git terminal?

To change your Bitbucket authentication in Git terminal, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to the repository for which you want to change authentication.
  2. Check the current authentication configuration by running the following command: 
1

git config --get remote.origin.url


  1. If the URL starts with "https://", it means you are using HTTPS authentication. To change to SSH authentication, you will need to update the remote URL.
  2. To change to SSH authentication, you will need to generate an SSH key and add it to your Bitbucket account. You can follow the instructions on Bitbucket's documentation on how to do this: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/set-up-an-ssh-key/
  3. After adding your SSH key to your Bitbucket account, you can update the remote URL by running the following command: 
1

git remote set-url origin git@bitbucket.org:<username>/<repository>.git


Make sure to replace "" with your Bitbucket username and "" with the name of your repository.

  1. Verify the remote URL has been updated by running:
1

git config --get remote.origin.url


Your authentication method should now be changed to SSH in Git terminal.


How to change git terminal credentials in Bitbucket using command line?

To change your Git terminal credentials in Bitbucket using the command line, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Run the following command to access the Git credential manager settings: 
1

git config --global credential.helper


  1. If the output is blank or doesn't show the credential manager you want to use, you can set it using the following command:
1

git config --global credential.helper manager-name


Replace manager-name with the name of the credential manager you want to use (such as osxkeychain, wincred, cache, etc.).

  1. Once you have set the credential manager, you can then update your credentials by running a Git command that requires authentication, such as pushing to a remote repository. Git will prompt you for your username and password, and you can enter the new credentials.
  2. You can also use the following command to update your credentials manually: 
1

git credential reject


This will remove the stored credentials for Bitbucket, and the next time you perform an action that requires authentication, you will be prompted to enter your new credentials.


By following these steps, you should be able to change your Git terminal credentials in Bitbucket using the command line.

1

git remote set-url origin https://<username>:<password>@bitbucket.org/<workspace>/<repository>.git


Replace <username> with your Bitbucket username, <password> with your Bitbucket password, <workspace> with your Bitbucket workspace, and <repository> with your Bitbucket repository.

  1. After setting the new URL, you can verify the changes by running:
1
