today I tried to push my new repository to bitbucket and i started to get prompt for password every time I pushed, I wonder what happened, So I googled and found I should use ssh instead of using https to avoid getting password prompt, specially when I am on my personal computer. I checked in my bitbucket account and found that their is no ssh key saved, but I am pretty sure that I did set it up in past, and I do have repos hosted on bitbucket account and I was pushing it all this time and what happened now. Anyway So i went setup again, first I didn't realised i was standing in my local repo folder so I generated ssh key while I was in bash shell. didn't realised the private and public key got saved their I started looking up in ~/.ssh folder.
Now this was one mistake I made, then if you look on altasian website or even may other support they are referring to id_rsa for me it didn't existed, not at ~/.ssh location. So I went to my local repo and tried to push thinking i have copied my ssh key from known_hosts but that moment i got to know about two files
on attempting to generate ssh-key:
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
you will get:
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/userName/.ssh/id_rsa):
earlier at this moment I entered bitbucket, since I was generating it for but bucket account which got saved in my local repo folder instead of ~/.ssh folder. and it generated two files by the name bitbucket and bitbucket.pub i.e private and public key respectively.
I went to ~/.ssh folder again and entered
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
but this time I neither entered the name nor entered paraphrase, then copied using cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy and pasted it to my bitbucket account > sshKeys

following the help on atlassian I pasted the copied ssh key, and again to my surprise that too didn't worked, relized i pasted that in the team account settings I have in my bitbucket. which you can see the username is visible on top left corner where later I added. and it worked like a charm
