IT:AD:Git:HowTo:Start a new hosted repo for Visual Studio

I don't have a thing against IT:AD:TFS – it's good enough technology, and excellent integration.

I have an issue against the long term OpEx side effects of TFS, namely:

Publicly visible code is no less secure than private code (in fact, study after study has demonstrated it to be more secure)
- Performing in public leads to an inability to commit poor code, more responsibility, therefore better code.
TFS repos cannot be exported and re-imported, leading to vendor lockin for support contracts. This is absolutely suicide from a client's point of view.

On https://bitbucket.com
Ensure you have IT:AD:SSH set up for your user/machine
- YOu will need SSH for your command line interactions with Git over SSH
- You will definitely need SSH on your dedicated Continuous Build/Continuous Deployment server.
Create a new Repository for your project

Let's get it working from the command line first

mkdir /path/to/your/project
cd /path/to/your/project
git init
git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:<repoowner>/<reponame>.git

If you have SSH set up correctly, you'll be able to do the following from the command line:

echo "Test" >> _discardable.test.txt
git add _discardable.test.txt
git commit -m 'Commit test'
git push -u origin master

If you run into ssh troubles, the thought process should be:

cd %userprofile%/.ssh/
do you have an pub/private keys (specifically id_rsa)? if not, you'll need to:
ensure IT:AD:Chocolatey is installed
ensure git is installed (consider using choco install git -y)
ensure poshgit is installed (consider using choco install poshgit -y)
start/restart a new IT:AD:Powershell interface (in order to let IT:AD:PoshGit sink in correctly after installing it)
ensure %programfiles%/git/bin was/is added to the PATH (so that it can find IT:AD:SSH and IT:AD:SSH-ADD)
Check whether you have any certs (sounds like you don't have one):

ssh-add -l

Use ssh-keygen to create both a default id_rsa one, and one specific to you, on this machine, for bitbucket

$strFilePath="${Env:UserProfile}/.ssh/$fileName"
& "${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\git\bin\ssh-keygen" -f $strFilePath -t rsa -N "''"

ssh-add <keyname>
#eg: ssh-add WE3W8-MEDIA_SkyS_bitbucket_rsa

Create a %userprofile%/.ssh/config file in which you will tell git, when it invokes IT:AD:SSH, to look use the current target in the url (eg: bitbucket.org) to figure out which pub/private key to use, and which username to use. The config file looks like:

Host bitbucket.org
 User skysigal
 HostName bitbucket.org
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/WE3W8-MEDIA_SkyS_bitbucket_rsa 

...other hosts (eg: github)
