In this guide, we will learn how to use the wget command in Shell-Bash to download a file from Bitbucket.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A command-line interface
• A Bitbucket account with access to the repository containing the file you wish to download.

Steps

1. Open the command-line interface as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the directory where you want to download the file.
3. Retrieve the Bitbucket repository link.
4. Use the wget command to download the file.

Here's an example of how to use the wget command to download a file from Bitbucket:

wget https://bitbucket.org/username/repository/raw/master/file.txt

This will download the file.txt from the user's repository.

If the file you wish to download is private, you will need to provide authentication credentials. To do this, add the following options to the wget command:

wget --user=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD https://bitbucket.org/username/repository/raw/master/file.txt

Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your Bitbucket account's login information.
