Bitbucket Blog

I can't overstate how useful it would be to at least restrict write access to certain branches. Bitbucket has had it for a while now [1], so I'm surprised GitHub haven't followed suit. [1]: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2013/09/16/take-control-with-branch-restric…

If you don't need specific features of Github but want a fantastic place to keep Git stuff, Bitbucket is brilliant. Unlimited free private repositories for up to 5 collaborators, and add+confirm any educational email address to make that unlimited collaborators. http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/08/20/bitbucket-academic/

Many mentioned bitbucket.org, I use their service everyday and love it. They have free unlimited repos for students: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2011/04/01/free-unlimited-user-source-code-h… I host all my private work with them and have never had a problem.

Just a note - using TCP logging is dangerous. If the syslog server hangs, clients may block writing to the socket and your whole infrastructure will lock up. See: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/01/12/follow-up-on-our-downtime-last-we…

At Atlassian (where Bitbucket now lives), we do something called FedEx (who can ship a product the fastest.) It's a 2-day sprint, where you write up a Shipment Order detailing your crazy idea, giving other people a chance to help you out if they find it interesting. At the end of it, you present what you've done, and everyone votes for a winner. We just held one a few weeks ago, and several awesome things came out of it. One even shipped the following week: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2011/07/07/redesigned-commits-screen/ It's always a lot of fun, and this, in addition to the 20% time we get, means we get to work on really cool things which sometimes even make it to the public.

Mr..Mrs. Cookie! I love Ice.... In my drinks but not for Bitbucket. Bitbucket has released some pretty major stuff in just the last 6 months or so. Built in Pipelines are an example. We've got some other stuff coming soon and there is always more in the pipeline after that. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11759733 Bitbucket added support for large files and went a step beyond GitHub and Gitlab by adding file chunking to speed things up in a big way. Bitbucket added file previews to help those working with large files like gaming devs. Smart mirroring to helps remote devs work faster. I could go on but I don't want to spam this thread with a feature list. There's a nice little post here with some things. https://blog.bitbucket.org/page/2/ Do you use Trello instead of JIRA? If so, awesome! It is a great product. We love it so much we spent around a full year of revenue to acquire them so rest assured that big of a bet isn't so we can just convert it into a lead gen tool. We believe Trello can be much bigger that than. (Alas, I can't comment on that right now as it is in deal closure period) If you don't use JIRA LMK what you use and what you like better. I'm always up for listening to what we are doing well and can do better. Caveat- if you can't tell I work on BB and JIRA. If you are in SF, I'll buy you a beer & a cookie for the answers, if not I'll just keep following this thread.

BitBucket is a vital part of Atlassian's internal development process, all product teams use it on a daily basis and we treat it as a mission critical service, I'm really surprised by this comment as here in Sydney we rarely see any issues, I would be lying if some hiccups hadn't happened in the past but they were usually in very short duration, and usually only affect the UI so you can still pull/push using HTTP/SSH, moreover we have a 24/7 dedicated team to respond to any outages and there is absolutely no differences in terms of infra-structure of free vs. paid accounts inside Bitbucket, so rest assured that we put a lot of effort on making the site better for everyone. We improved the architecture a few months ago and that should also contribute to the stability of the system as a whole, see more at: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/08/24/segregating-services/ And you can follow the status of the service at: http://status.bitbucket.org We would love to hear more feedbacks like this through our usual support channels when it happens so we can investigate and improve our service. (Disclosure: I work on Atlassian's OnDemand team).

Try "Git 2.9 is out!": https://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/06/13/git-2-9/

Yep, I never found the github "network" thing very useful. The fancy graph is difficult to scroll and analyze. Bitbucket has (for local branches) a simple behind/ahead visualization [1] that IMO would be very nice to have on forks! On top of that, they could integrate something like [2] as I pointed in another comment [1] https://blog.bitbucket.org/files/2013/10/branch-details.png [2] http://forked.yannick.io/jquery/jquery

> BitBucket has been waiting for 2FA for 5 years! BitBucket has had 2FA since Sep 2015: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2015/09/10/two-step-verification-is-here/ Do some research, unless your goal was to slander.

+1 We've added 4 big features just in the last 12 months + Pipelines + Git LFS + Smart Mirroring + Merge Checks More here just from Oct 2016: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/10/12/scaling-in-bitbucket-cloud-new-f… Not to mention other features like 2FA, Projects, Snippets, Bitbucket Connect, etc. in the last 2 years

In fact, we just launched Hg support for Bitbucket's built-in CI/CD, Bitbucket Pipelines: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/07/26/bitbucket-pipelines-beta-now-mer…

Bitbucket[1] also mentions a few other new cool stuff in 2.9, like making the `--verbose` flag to `git commit` default: git config −−global commit.verbose true [1] https://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/06/13/git-2-9/

Yes, the pricing model is different with the goal of making Bitbucket affordable for individual developers and small teams, no matter whether they work on public or private projects. Do we want people to use JIRA? If they require more than simple issue tracking, absolutely. But that doesn't mean that we aren't improving the base tools. For example, Bitbucket already provides the ability to vote for issues and recently added rendering of the CONTRIBUTING.md file for pull requests (http://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/01/26/pull-request-guidelines-for-bitbu…

We are actually investing a lot in Bitbucket: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2015/09/22/1-in-3-fortune-500-companies-agre…

We try to encourage others to do those sorts of features via add-ons (http://blog.bitbucket.org/2015/12/29/file-viewer-for-bitbucket/).

Good thing that Atlassian/BitBucket would also be supporting it: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2015/10/01/contributing-to-git-lfs/ And very glad to read that they decided to contribute to this instead of working on their own solution for the same problem. Kudos!

Hi! I'm a Developer Advocate over at Atlassian, and I'd like to point out that Stash offers extensible merge controls through merge request check plugins. In addition to pre-configured and third-party plugins, an open API allows you to make custom merge requirements. https://developer.atlassian.com/stash/docs/latest/tutorials-and-exampl… In Bitbucket, we don't support this yet, but we do allow branch restrictions to ensure only trusted users are able to merge sensitive branches and many teams find this to be a suitable proxy for that behavior. https://blog.bitbucket.org/2013/09/16/take-control-with-branch-restric…

It seems like the correct link would be https://blog.bitbucket.org/2015/02/11/coding-in-the-cloud-with-bitbuck… since there are more IDEs than just codeanywhere

Possibly linked to this migration: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2014/04/22/were-migrating-repositories-to-ne… ??

It was down when they changed to a new datacenter[1]. I think github is just a much bigger target right now is why it goes down more often. [1] http://blog.bitbucket.org/2013/07/02/scheduled-downtime-bitbucket-move…

indeed. bitbucket has about a dozen. bitbeaker is pretty decent. http://blog.bitbucket.org/2011/12/21/mobile-apps-for-bitbucket/ maybe bitbucket is just open-er?

similar: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/05/22/introducing-bitbucket-cards/

They're saying it's a networking issue (http://status.bitbucket.org/). It's possibly (probably?) related to the datacenter migration yesterday: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2013/07/02/scheduled-downtime-bitbucket-move…

That was very similar to my original aim too! I wanted it for feedback when drafting blog posts, and also to let people truly engage and critique my writing, when I'm talking about history or religion. Your naive plan was mine too, but... then I realised that for feedback while drafting, I'd be breaking up paragraphs (with comments on them), adding new ones before commented paragraphs etc. So it never happened. http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/10/30/building-inline-comments-for-pull… seems a far more technical (and reliable) way to handle these situations.

Did you check bitbucket.org? They support binary downloads, git and hg, issues priorities [1], free private repos for 5 users. [1] http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/07/26/issue-tracker-user-interface-upda…
