Why do you mirror to github and not bitbucket?

• true_religion 16y ago
  The github web interface is lightyears ahead of bitbucket's or any other sites. So even if you are choosing to use mercurial or god-forbid CVS, its best to mirror to github for public sharing.

    Bitbucket is in fact our primary code hosting service. We use github as a mirror of that. We mirror to github for the social and discovery benefits. The UI has very little to do with it as far as I'm concerned.

      I prefer projects on Github because of the superior UI. Github positions the code front-and-center, and makes it very easy to browse through it online without having to download the entire file. Additionally, the front-page shows code up top and readme right below. Bitbucket projects often show an empty wiki, or worse a useless "overview" that just tells when the commits to the project occurred. The social and discovery benefits of Github are directly related to its UI (or if you prefer, call it UX since its all encompassing).
