I set up Mercurial (actually TortoiseHg) to work so that Netbeans could interact with BitBucket. I set it up with HTTPS, but now I’m trying to use SSH instead. I’m not having much success. Here are the steps I took:
First, I opened PuTTYgen and generated an SSH2-RSA key. I wrote my email – the same one I used to register on BB, I don’t know if that matters – as the Key comment. Anyway, I uploaded the public key to BitBucket and it accepted it.
Then I created a private key and added it with pageant, as this page instructs. After that I made a command from the command line to verify it worked:
hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/myaccount/myrepo
It worked – cloned the entire repo to my computer. But then I went over to Netbeans and right-clicked on my project and went to Mercurial > Properties…. I filled out the box like this:
default-push: ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/myaccount/myrepo
default-pull: ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/myaccount/myrepo
username: My Name <my@email.com>
I tried to push/pull my repo, but it didn’t do anything. I’m using Netbeans 7.0.1. How do I fix this?
You will need to setup the SSH link in the hgrc file for the repository or the one that is used by Netbeans.
