Configuring egit with BitBucket

Question

I decided to try BitBucket and Git but I'm confused on how to configuring eGIT ( Eclipse GIT plugin ) to connect to Bitbucket's GIT repo.

Anybody know any documentation on this? Thanks.

Update : I gave up to solve the issue, and currently using SourceTree, which is a simple tool to deal with this. It's a free tool created by Attlasian ( the company that created Jira ).

Answer 1

You may run into egit authentication problems while pushing. To solve that problem you can open up the git repository viewer and add a remote repository.

Answer 2

Your question is essentially asking for documentation on using egit - you can find that all here:

• http://eclipse.org/egit/documentation/

In particular, the user manual that is linked from there describes both how to clone a repository using EGit and work with an existing repository — it's not clear from your question which situation you are in. The only difference between using a BitBucket git repository and one from another repository-hosting service is the URL, essentially. Broadly speaking, you should use the SSH URL if possible.

Answer 3

I have found this url very useful
