PyCharm + Bitbucket: Could not read from remote repository
I'm having trouble interacting with Git using PyCharm Community 2016.3.2. Whatever git commands I try, I always get the same error message, 'Could not read from remote repository.', and the same lines in idea.log:

I have checked my SSH private key file, and it does start with '-----BEGIN', so I'm guessing PyCharm is looking in the wrong place for it. However, I can't figure out where PyCharm searches for the SSH private key, though.
Any tips, anyone?

I just figured it out. I'm using PyCharm's built-in SSH, and it doesn't seem to be compatible with ed25519 private keys. When I tried to use a RSA private key, it worked perfectly.
If I try to use the native SSH implementation, I get the following lines in idea.log:
"""

Please vote for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-27934 about adding support for ed25519 OpenSSH key.
I have, Anna, thanks.
Any tips on getting PyCharm to work with the native SSH implementation and Ed25519 keys?
Cheers!
