Git_Bitbucket and Github with a same email address

Question

I have accounts on Butbucket and Github with same email address, but usernames are different. Should I generate the SSH keys or is there any easier guide to serve both plattform without problem?

I've tried this guide, but it didn't work for me. https://gist.github.com/rosswd/e1afd2b0b0d515517eac

Answer 1

If you are using SSH URLs, as your guide suggests, the username does not matter.
(It would matter for HTTPS URLs).

What matters is:

• adding your first public key to your GitHub account
• provide your second public key to Bitbucket cloud

That is how those respective remote Git repository hosting services (GitHub, Bitbucket Cloud) will know who you are.

That means you need to create two set of SSH keys:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" 
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bb

Don't forget to use the actual ~/.ssh/config Host entries for your SSH URLs:

git clone gh:meGH/MyGitHubRepository
git clone bb:meBB/MyBitbucketRepository
