How do I configure Git in Xcode to work with BitBucket

Question

I have a project which I have been on for ages which is not connected to any source code repository.

I want to start using BitBucket now, however I am not sure how to go about it. I have created a project in BitBucket.

Should I now clone and check out in Xcode or should I add a repository in xcode. Anyone have any idea?

I have tried cloning using the URL from bitbucket but it just comes back with an error in Xcode

I've met the same problem and here's how I solved it:

1. (Assume your project is not already under local source control) Create a new project under LOCAL source control (Please note that adding remote source control at this stage may not be successful)

2. Make this new project a clone of your old project - drag files, add frameworks, etc.

3. In menu "Source Control" -> -> "Configure " In the new window, click on "Remotes" -> "+" -> "Add Remote"

4. • Name: anything (you can use "BitBucket")

   • Address: https://[email protected]/accountname/reponame.git

5. "Source Control" -> "Commit"

6. Select "push to remote" at the left bottom corner

7. Click "Commit"

8. Check on BitBucket website to see if it's actually pushed to it
