IntelliJ IDEA git Permission denied (publickey)

I faced this problem while connecting bitbucket cloud from my Intellij 2019.2 , which thankfully got solved with the following steps. Please note that these steps are to be carried out after you successfully generate and add ssh-public key to your bitbucket/github/gitlab profile.

1. Open Git-SCM ssh_config file present in Git-SCM installation directory.It’s default location in Windows (for 64 bit) is in C:\Program Files\Git\etc\ssh\
2. Add the following lines into ssh_config

Host *your-gitlab-or-github-or-bitbucket-hostname*
     IdentityFile *your-ssh-rsa-privatekey-file-with-absolute-path*

for e.g

Host bitbucket.org
     IdentityFile C:/Users/Sahil/.ssh/id_rsa
