SSH Keys, CYGWIN, BitBucket, Permission denied (publickey)

Question

I am trying to push an initial codebase to bitbucket. I have generated keys and BitBucket has my public key. When i run a GIT PUSH through CYGWIN

push -u origin --all

It just hangs.

I have tracked it down to the fact that the keys are not being handled correctly (see below)

When I run the following

ssh -vT user@bitbucket.org

I get the following output...

Any ideas please?

ssh -vT user@bitbucket.org won't ever work.

Only git@bitbucket.org can work.

As mentioned in "Use the SSH protocol with Bitbucket", a valid ssh url for BitBucket repos looks like:

git@bitbucket.org:accountname/reponame.git

You can change the remote origin url with a:

cd /path/top/your/repo
git remote set-url origin git@bitbucket.org:accountname/reponame.git
