I like starting a school-related project as a private Github repo, then as time or permission allows for to open it up as a public repo. I've open-sourced a few things this way, whereas the couple Bitbucket repos have been left to languish since I don't have a limit on private repos or the ecosystem to share it with.
- Shank 12y agoYou can always push your private BitBucket repos to public Github ones -- just add another remote and push there.
- LeonidasXIV 12y agoThough you will have to leave your issues/wiki at BitBucket. Usually not a problem as you don't have one but still annoying.
- piokuc 12y agoIt is very easy to import a private BitBucket repo and make it public on GitHub.
- ephemeralgomi 12y agoI'm sure you know, but you can just clone from bitbucket, then push it to github. You keep all your history and everything. I can dig that there's friction, though.
- Pxl_Buzzard 12y agoSince I've had 3 replies I'd like to clarify a bit. - Github has a large enough network effect that I can ask for another student's Github account and expect that they will have one. That lowers the friction to getting a new project started. - I have moved a repo from BitBucket to Github, it is about as easy as the comments state. - That said, I haven't needed more than 5 private repos at once, and the ability to visit one site (and one interface) to view all my work is easier than visiting two sites.
