Finding out a project is on Bitbucket or uses Mercurial has actually stopped me wanting to contribute. The additional hassle of remembering how Mercurial works, digging out my BitBucket credentials etc, is a pain in the backside.
- webreac 12y agoI have contributed to a git project on bitbucket where the process was well explained (enough for a git beginner): https://bitbucket.org/LukasKnuth/backslide/src/5313b2c63a3da069609689913031cf780d7237f1/TRANSLATION.md?at=master https://bitbucket.org/LukasKnuth/backslide/src/5313b2c63a3da... Bitbucket is often slower than github, but this has not impact for my small projects. And I like to have some free repository that remain private.
- deckiedan 12y agoYou can use bitbucket just fine to host git projects. I use a mixture of bitbucket and github for different projects, not wanting all my eggs in one basket, really. I find them pretty much equal in many respects - except being able to have private repos on bitbucket is very convenient, and github pages is also very useful. I wish bitbucket had something similar. https://bitbucket.org/dfairhead/streetsign-server https://bitbucket.org/dfairhead/streetsign-server in case you're interested.
- mamcx 12y agoThe opposite to me (not github, but git). I wish github support mercurial. I have used hg-git, but still is something else to do.
