How to use Bower with private Bitbucket repository?

Question

I'm working on a project, where I have some public bower components, and I'm writing some of my own. But, I don't want to publish/register it on bower registry. I wan't to use my PRIVATE Bitbucket repository.

So, if i type in terminal: bower install my_package_name I want to download that package from my private repo.

I get the idea, that I should specify the git repo in bower.json file, but what I'm struggling with is authentication through terminal.

Answer 1

Ok, since nobody answered, I figured it out by myself. You can use with HTTPS like this:

{    "dependencies" : {        "my_package_name" : "https://[email protected]/MY_REPO_URL.git"    } } 

Or with SSH:

{     "dependencies": {         "my_package_name": "[email protected]:username/MY_REPO_URL.git"     } } 

This works like a charm.

Answer 2

Use SSH-like clone URL:

{     "dependencies": {         "my_package_name": "[email protected]:user/repo.git"     } } 

Your system should have authorized SSH key.

It works for me! Good luck!
