Create new repo on Bitbucket from Git Bash terminal?

Is it possible to create a new repository in Bitbucket by using command line Git? I have tried the following:

git clone --bare https://username@bitbucket.org/username/new_project.git

I get this message:

Cloning into bare repository 'new_project.git'...
fatal: https://username@bitbucket.org/username/new_project.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

It would be nice to do this without going to the web app.

Solution

  • You can use the Bitbucket REST API and cURL. For example:

    curl --user login:pass https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/ \
--data name=REPO_NAME

    to create new repository named REPO_NAME.

    See Use the Bitbucket REST APIs for more information.

    UPDATE

    For Bitbucket V2 specifically, see POST a new repo
