Cloning a Bitbucket repository via ssh

How do I clone a repository from Bitbucket via ssh instead of http? I already have git installed in my local machine (Windows).

  1. Generate an SSH key: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your-email-address"
  2. Press Enter key until a randomart image is generated.
  3. Log into Bitbucket -> View profile -> Manage account -> SSH keys -> Add key
  4. Paste the key you have generated in Step 1 in the text box. To get the key, run the following command: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
  5. Go to your repository -> Clone. Now you can see the SSH url for your repository. Copy it.
  6. Clone your repository: git clone <ssh-url>
