Signed up right away deployed a new server on Digital Ocean. Really easy and powerful tool – BUT (this is a big one), why lock someone in with GitHub? Sure, GitHub is great. But what if I use BitBucket? Or even my own solution for my private projects? This has killed many other services before for me, Pagoda Box (if I recall correctly) also forced someone to use GitHub, so did Appfog (or PHPfog rather). I like Fortrabbits solution, where you at least can push your own code.

I think that Taylor mentioned in the keynote that BitBucket support is planned. Edit: Confirmation of Bitbucket/Gitlab support coming soon: https://twitter.com/laravelphp/statuses/468401873519915008 https://twitter.com/laravelphp/statuses/468401873519915008

  If so – I'm very glad to hear that! Then there's hope for someone like me too.

In the mean time you can use https://factor.io/ https://factor.io/ for "push-to-deploy" with BitBucket or Gitlab.

Taylor has just mentioned on Twitter that he's going to start looking at Gitlab and Bitbucket tonight.

You can push your own code on Forge... you have full server access.

> so did Appfog (or PHPfog rather) I never had to use GitHub for PHPFog. What do you mean exactly?
- girvo 12y ago
  Yeah I seem to remember just being able to push directly?

  My bad – perhaps it was Engineyard? I know that there was one more service that I've tried besides PagodaBox on which you were "forced" to use GitHub to deploy code.
