bitbucket.org Reviews

Bitbucket is a web-based version control repository hosting service owned by Atlassian, for source code and development projects that use either Mercurial or Git revision control systems. Bitbucket offers both commercial plans and free accounts. It offers free accounts with an unlimited number of private repositories (which can have up to five users in the case of free accounts). Bitbucket integrates with other Atlassian software like Jira, HipChat, and Bamboo. It is similar to GitHub, which primarily uses Git. Bitbucket is written in Python using the Django web framework. It is a commercial product, but free for small teams. Bitbucket was originally written by Jesper Nøhr, but it is now maintained by Atlassian. Bitbucket is available on the cloud and also has a self-hosted option called Bitbucket Server (previously known as Stash). Bitbucket was launched in 2008. In 2010, it was acquired by Atlassian. In 2016, Bitbucket announced a new feature, known as Bitbucket Pipelines, a continuous delivery service built within Bitbucket. Bitbucket Pipelines allows building, testing, and deployment from within Bitbucket. It is integrated with Docker containers. In 2017, Bitbucket announced support for Git Large File Storage (LFS) which allows the use of pointers instead of the actual large files. This is useful for large files that are not often changed, such as graphics, audio, or video files. In 2019, Bitbucket announced the end of support for Mercurial repositories on Bitbucket Cloud, effective June 1, 2020. This means that new repositories cannot be created using Mercurial, and existing Mercurial repositories will become read-only. Users are encouraged to migrate their repositories to Git. Bitbucket is widely used in the software development community, especially among teams using other Atlassian products like Jira for issue tracking and Confluence for collaboration. It provides a secure and reliable platform for version control and collaboration on codebases, with features for code review, continuous integration, and deployment.”
