Using Multiple Bitbucket Accounts on a Single Device

Generate SSH Keys for Each Bitbucket Account

1. Generate SSH key for Software Company account:

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 4096 -C "john.doe@softwarecompany.com" -f ~/.ssh/softwarecompany

2. Add each private key to the SSH agent, such as:

   ssh-add ~/.ssh/softwarecompany

3. Add the generated public key (softwarecompany.pub) to the Bitbucket account’s SSH settings.
4. Generate SSH key for Tech Company account:

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 4096 -C "john.doe@techcompany.com" -f ~/.ssh/techcompany

5. Add each private key to the SSH agent, such as:

   ssh-add ~/.ssh/techcompany

6. Add the generated public key (techcompany.pub) to the Bitbucket account’s SSH settings.

Configure SSH Config File

1. Open the SSH configuration file in a text editor:

   nano ~/.ssh/config

2. Add the following entries for each Bitbucket account:

   Host softwarecompany
     HostName bitbucket.org
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/softwarecompany

   Host techcompany
     HostName bitbucket.org
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/techcompany

Cloning Repositories

When cloning repositories, replace the default host with the configured host:

• For Software Company:

  git clone git@softwarecompany:myworkspacesoftwarecompany/myrepo.git

• For Tech Company:

  git clone git@techcompany:myworkspacetechcompany/myanotherrepo.git

Ensure to replace bitbucket.org with the appropriate configured host. You’re all set! This setup allows you to work with multiple Bitbucket accounts on a single device seamlessly.
