gs8r3 (gs8r3) asked a question.
How do I authenticate to a git repo on the command line?
I am a computer programmer. The shell is my primary work environment.
My org uses Okta's SSO service.
On assignment, a client sent me an invitation to their BitBucket cloud repo, which I clicked on. Okta then authenticated me and created an Atlassian managed account for me. So far, so good...
Now I need to clone the repo.
When I enter the `git clone ...` statement, Atlassian prompts me for a password. What on earth should I provide? It does not accept my Okta password.
Surely there must be a way to clone repos from BitBucket with an Okta-managed account. Please help!
Hi Graham,
Have you tried creating a personal access token for yourself on the BitBucket server and using that instead?
