bb won't recognize ssh

[George Salt]

I've written a ~/.bitbucket file:

[auth]
username = ggsalt

[options]
scm = hg
protocol = ssh

bb still prompts me for a password. My ssh key is fine -- I can push and pull from bitbucket using ssh.

How to I get bb to use ssh and stop asking me for my password?

I just had the same experience. This might help explain what is happening: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37978303/create-a-bitbucket-repo-with-ssh-through-their-api
