Create a new BitBucket Repository

Each Devops Account is associated with a workspace in BitBucket. For the duration of the Assembly Line Training lessons, you will be using your teams’ shared-sandbox Bitbucket Workspace.

When building an assembly line application, you will need a repository for your code to live in.

Create a repository for yourself in the team-shared-sandbox Bitbucket workspace.

Create an App Password

If you have already configured your VSCode to Bit Bucket access, you can skip this step. You may prefer another method of authenticating to Bitbucket such as ssh keys. Navigate to https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/ Click “create app password”. These are the minimum required permissions
bitbucket-app-password
Click “create”. An app password will be displayed. Copy this and paste it somewhere as you will need it whenever pushing to the remote repository from WSL Linux instance.

If using Visual Studio Code, consider using the Atlassian extension and authenticating into Bitbucket to have a more permanent connection to BitBucket repositories.

You will need the password in the next lesson.
