I’ll look over the entire list of 42 bitbucket-tagged posts to try and find more info, but I cannot seem to pull in a second repository to my build from Bitbucket. Not with Bash, not with the UI, I guess I should start to look at the API.

Is there some documentation anywhere about this? Closest I’ve found [is this](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/gh-bb-integration/#enable-your-project-to-check-out-additional-private-repositories) but it’s not helping.

The other weird thing is that I go into the Circle Project setting, make a “Checkout SSH Key” and it shows up in the Circle UI with a little bitbucket logo, which would make you think that it worked, but now my build won’t even clone the main repo down. So broken for bitbucket.

_Update_: got this working with the [directions I found here](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/checkout-fails-with-user-key-bitbucket/8735/7?u=loffelmacher) but this is like duct tape, I question the durability of this kind of setup.
