Connect Bitbucket Repository

In CodeCanvas, on the sidebar menu, select Namespaces, then the namespace you need.
On the sidebar namespace menu, select Repositories.
Click New connection.
Provide repository Name and other settings:
- Remote repository URL – the SSH or HTTPS URL of the repository, e.g., git@bitbucket.org:MyCompany/my-project.git or https://bitbucket.org/MyCompany/my-project.git
- Repository web URL – the URL of the remote repository's web interface. CodeCanvas will show this link in the repository list. For example, this can be a link to the project's README file on Bitbucket.
- Read restrictions – specify who is allowed to view repository contents: Only selected users or All users.
  In the case of Only selected users, you should synchronize this list with your Git hosting service. Learn more
If the repository doesn't require authentication, leave Anonymous in Authentication. Otherwise, choose either SSH (for SSH authentication) or Password (for HTTPS authentication).
For SSH authentication, you need to provide an SSH key pair. CodeCanvas will use the private key only to clone the repository into dev environments. Users will be required to specify their own SSH key to pull from and push to the repository.
1. First, generate a new SSH key pair for CodeCanvas on your local machine using:
  ssh-keygen -t ed25519
  Protect the private key with a passphrase if desired. You will have files such as mykey (private key) and mykey.pub (public key).
2. On Bitbucket, go to Repository settings | Access keys and click Add key. Paste the contents of the public key file (mykey.pub) and click Add SSH key.
3. In CodeCanvas, in the Authentication field, select SSH and provide the private key (mykey) and the passphrase if set.
  Important! All dev environments in the namespace will use this key to clone the repository.
We don't recommend this authentication method as it implies using an app password associated with your Bitbucket account.
1. On Bitbucket, open Personal Bitbucket settings.
2. On the App passwords page, click Create app password.
3. In Repositories, select Read, create and copy the password.
4. Specify the password in CodeCanvas as a repository Password and your Bitbucket username as Username.
  Important! All dev environments in the namespace will use this password to clone the repository.
Test the connection first by clicking Test connection. If successful, click Connect. The repository will then be listed in the Repositories section.
