Use own username/password with git and bitbucket
I'm in a team of three; two are working locally, and I am working on the server.
My coworker set up the account, but gave me full privileges to the repository.
I set my username and email in git:
git config --global user.name "bozdoz"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
and they are identical to my username and email on bitbucket.org.
But when I pull or push to the repository it indicates their username in the prompt:
Password for 'https://[email protected]':
I was able to get a prompt for my password after trying to pull by indicating the URL with my username:
git pull https://[email protected]/path/repo.git
and it said up-to-date; and then when I pushed, it said no-fast-forward.
I read that I need to specify the branch, but I don't know how to do that in a push statement while I'm also specifying the repo URL:
git push https://[email protected]/path/repo.git
I am able to pull and push if my co-worker is around and can put his password in. But this is also listing him as the author of the push, and not me.
How can I pull and push to a repo branch as my own username?
Answer
Run
git remote -v
and check whether your origin's URL has your co-worker's username hardcoded in there. If so, substitute it with your own:
git remote set-url origin <url-with-your-username>
