Bamboo Support

SSH overview

You can use SSH keys to establish a secure connection between the Bamboo server and the SCM that hosts Git repositories.

If no Git capability is configured, Bamboo will use its built-in Git implementation: the built-in Git implementation does not support symbolic links, submodules, automatic branch detection and automatic merging.
Your SCM administrator must have already enabled SSH access to Git repositories.
Supported key types are DSA and RSA2. Note that RSA1 is not supported. We've tested key sizes of 768, 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192 bytes.
