For a long time, we were using app passwords to access to Bitbucket. In the Jenkins jobs we just setup the Git https url and select the app password that was created as a username/password credential.
Now, Bitbucket is deprecating the app passwords. As I understand, the API tokens cannot be used as a replacement, since they are intended to be used with the API only, not for repo cloning.
What is the suggested way now to clone a Git repo from Bitbucket within a Jenkins job? And does this also will work for pushing changes (e.g. during a Maven release)?
Thank you for any hints and help!
