Credential management

The first time you upload a file you will be prompted for your Bitbucket username and password. These will be used to retrieve an OAuth refresh token which is stored in ~/.bitbucket-snippet and used for subsequent requests. Treat this token carefully as it can be used to read and write snippets on your behalf.
