I'm working on a project, where I have some public bower components, and I'm writing some of my own. But, I don't want to publish/register it on bower registry. I wan't to use my PRIVATE Bitbucket repository.

So, if i type in terminal: bower install my_package_name I want to download that package from my private repo.

I get the idea, that I should specify the git repo in bower.json file, but what I'm struggling with is authentication through terminal.

Ok, since nobody answered, I figured it out by myself. You can use with HTTPS like this:

{
   "dependencies" : {
       "my_package_name" : "https://[email protected]/MY_REPO_URL.git"
   }
}

Or with SSH:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "my_package_name": "[email protected]:username/MY_REPO_URL.git"
    }
}

This works like a charm.
