Bitbucket Backup

steps

1. Login in to the server

----- Performed only once --------
2. Ensure SSH is installed
    $ ssh -v

3. Setup default identity
    a) $ ssh-keygen
    (Choose the default location i.e. ~/ssh/id_rsa)
    (Dont enter any passphrase)
    
    b) Check the contents and you will find key files
      $ ls -a ~/.ssh

----- Routine Steps (Only for Linux and MAC OS X < 10.6.8) -----
4. Start ssh-agent load the keys
    a) Check if ssh-agent is running
      $ ps -e | grep [s]sh-agent
      Should see a ssh-agent process with an id
    
    b) if not running then enter
      $ ssh-agent /bin/bash
      
    c) When ssh-agent is running load the default identity into memory
      $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
      
    d) List the keys the agent is managing
      $ ssh-add -l

----------- Only Once ----------------
5. Install public key on Your/Team's Bitbucket Account
  a) Find the public key
    $ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (In Linux) { Dumps key on stdout }
    $ pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (OS X) { Copies directly to clipboard }
    
  b) In Your account settings under ssh keys add a SSH Key and paste the public key copied from the above command

-------- Steps to be Repeated for every new repository --------
6. Make a private repository on bitbucket
7. Then 'cd' go to the website you want to backup
  a) $ git init (Initialize empty repository)
  b) $ git remote add origin [email protected]:<accountname>/<reponame>.git
  c) $ git status (Check to see the uncommitted files which should be all the files)
  c) $ git add --all
  d) $ git commit -m "First Backup"
  e) $ git push -u origin master (Whole website has been backed up to bitbucket)
  
------- For old Repositories --------
6. Load the ssh-keys in the ssh-agent. Then 'cd' to the repository
7. Check if it has valid origin for 'push' and 'pull'
    a) $ git status
    b) Commit any changes: $ git commit -m "{backup_no} Backup"
    c) $ git push -u origin master
