Using Bitbucket App Password in Yocto recipe for git repo over https

Question

On command line "git clone https://username:app-password@bitbucket.org/dir/repo.git", works, wherein app-password is an "alphanumeric string created by bitbucket"

But when using with Yocto Recipe SRC_URI = "git://username:app-password@bitbucket.org/workspace/repo.git;protocol=https;"

gives error: "fatal: could not read the password for 'https://username@bitbucket.org': No such device or address".

Please advise how to use bitbucket app-passwords in the Yocto recipe for pulling git repo over https method?

Why don't you use ssh keys instead? – Oleksandr Kravchuk Feb 07 '22 at 08:34 — Oleksandr Kravchuk, Feb 07 '22 at 08:34

I just managed to solve this with:

SRC_URI = "git://git@bitbucket.org/myworkspace/myrepo.git;protocol=https;user=myusername:my-app-password;"

Note that the username should not be your email address but your Bitbucket username.

Hope it helps someone.
