Trying - Using API tokens with Git commands

[earnestware]

I removed my appwd from https://username:apppwd@bitbucket.org.... and am trying to use a newly created API token and entered the API token 1) when prompted by an atlassian GUI for username/password and 2) at the command prompt when asked for the password. It did not work. Am I missing something?

G'day @earnestware !

To start using API tokens with Bitbucket Cloud - you'll need to create the API token and specify the scope - this is mentioned in our deprecation documentation:

1. Click the gear cog icon, select Atlassian Account settings > Security tab > Create and manage API Tokens

2. Click Create API token with scopes and select Bitbucket Cloud

3. If you want to be able to clone/push/pull to the repository - you'll need to tick both read:repository:bitbucket and write:repository:bitbucket - clone only would just be read:repository:bitbucket. More information on scopes can be found in our API scopes documentation.

4. Perform the clone using the API token by executing either of the commands below (if using the first command - you can find your username by clicking the gear cog icon and selecting Personal Bitbucket Settings - it's visible under the Bitbucket Profile Settings heading):

   git clone https://username:APIToken@bitbucket.org/workspaceID/reposlug.git

git clone https://x-bitbucket-api-token-auth:APIToken@bitbucket.org/workspaceID/reposlug.git

Please perform the above and let me know how this goes. If you are still encountering issues, I will assist you further.

Cheers!
