Suddenly started to receive ssh_exchange_identification error using git/bitbucket

Nothing was changed in the system. I work as usually. And usually there was no any problems with pull/push. I have access on bitbucket, if I visit it via the browser.

And now when I try to push or pull from bitbucket repository, I get error:

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

Below is a command with verbose output, but I cannot understand what is the problem.

Command used for verbose output: $ GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -vvv" git pull

The output:

OpenSSH_7.9p1, LibreSSL 2.7.3

It might be a problem with Bitbucket.

Check Bitbucket status https://bitbucket.status.atlassian.com/history

That's what happened to me and the original poster, but I didn't think to check until seeing the comment on the question here.

Got same issue today.

Fixed the issue via add following lines in ssh config(vim ~/.ssh/config)

Host bitbucket.org
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  HostName altssh.bitbucket.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  UseKeychain yes
  Port 443

I also faced a similar issue all of a sudden. I tried of couple of suggestions given in ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host under Git bash but the following one worked for me.

  1. Delete ssh folder (~/.ssh)
  2. Recreate .ssh using ssh-keygen
  3. Configure the latest public key
  4. Then now try your git commands
