How to Use Github Desktop With Bitbucket

Greetings, today we shall be looking at how to use Github desktop to push and pull to a repo hosted on Bitbucket. This is great if you don't want to deal with software like Sourcetree. This tutorial on how to setup github desktop with a bitbucket repo is quick and simple.

All we need to do is setup a Git HTTP url with embedded credentials. To do this with bitbucket, we need 4 details:

A bitbucket username A bitbucket workspace name A bitbucket repo name A bitbucket app password

With all of this we can create a url that will allow us to clone a bitbucket repo in Github desktop. In this Bitbucket tutorial we use this type url to clone the repo in github desktop:

https://maxodidily:thisisanapppassword@bitbucket.org/testforyoutube/epicgame.git

Here is a template url: https://username:thisisanapppassword@bitbucket.org/spacename/reponame.git

If this doesn't make sense, don't worry, we break it all down in this video on how to use github desktop with bitbucket. How to get all details for making the Git HTTP URL with credentials is covered too.

This url we use is a Git HTTP URL with embedded credentials. Basically the url contains a username and a password so we can access the repo. We won't be asked to login as the url has login data.

Once you have cloned your bitbucket repo using Github desktop, you can push and pull to it like you would with any other git repo.

The reason why we add in credentials to the http url is so we don't get an error message asking to login or a message saying access denied when we try to clone the bitbucket repo.
