Here are some of the interesting things coming to the Bitbucket platform: Code search: https://sourcegraph.com/ https://sourcegraph.com/ Code quality: https://www.bithound.io/ https://www.bithound.io/, https://www.codacy.com/ https://www.codacy.com/ Code analytics: http://stiltsoft.com/ http://stiltsoft.com/ Deployment: http://cloudcannon.com/ http://cloudcannon.com/, https://platform.sh/ https://platform.sh/ Crash and exception handling: https://rollbar.com/ https://rollbar.com/ Rapid integration: http://www.wittified.com/ http://www.wittified.com/ Cloud IDE: https://codeanywhere.com/ https://codeanywhere.com/, https://codeanywhere.com/ https://codeanywhere.com/

  Thanks for the list. Lots of good projects in here!

    The developer documentation is here for anyone interested in developing their own Bitbucket add-on projects. https://developer.atlassian.com/static/bitbucket/ https://developer.atlassian.com/static/bitbucket/

  Also in deployment is http://bitbucket.aerobatic.com/ http://bitbucket.aerobatic.com/

not to be confused with Stripe Connect: https://stripe.com/connect https://stripe.com/connect

  Not to be confused with Facebook Connect, Garmin Connect, Adobe Connect, TI Connect and hundreds of others either. There are two hard things in software development; cache invalidation and naming things.

    You forgot "and off-by-one errors".

Great news for anyone that doesn't care at all about protecting their SCM with MFA.
- iamcreasy 11y ago
  What's MFA?
  - hayksaakian 11y ago
    it could be multi-factor-authentication/authorization but i don't know for sure
- JamesSwift 11y ago
  Not a concern for bitbucket since MFA is not supported, and there is no timeline to support it: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/5811/support-two-factor-authentication-bb-7016 https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/5811/support-two-fac...

  Couldn't agree more, and came here to say this also. I understand that they are driving forward with new features for developers, but security cannot be taken seriously enough when they are hosting organisation's private code. I cannot take them seriously until they add this feature.
- philjohn 11y ago
  I just don't get the reticence to implement it - I added 2FA to a customer facing app we produce in less than a week - and most of that time was coming up with a nice/pretty setup workflow to enable it on your account.
  - deanclatworthy 11y ago
    From what I've read, it seems because of the complications of the global Atlassian accounts across multiple domains.

Who else thinks bitbucket is better than github? And that even if its not, we should host a copy of repos on bitbucket too, because competition is good? EDIT: (For git non-pro's like me) How does one create a copy? After creating an empty repo on the web interface: git remote add bitbucket <url of the repo> How does one keep it updated? git push bitbucket <branchname> --------------------------------- Or if you'd like to always keep the bitbucket repo in sync every time you do a git push origin (preferred method): `git remote set-url --add --push origin <url of the repo>`
- skeeterbug 11y ago
  Define better though? Github is clearly more about the "community". You can explore and see trending repos and overall a much better experience of discovery. Bitbucket has a few nice features too, but it seems to be more geared for closed source/private teams.

  I really like Bitbucket. I never had issues and I love the fact that I have access to free private repositories. That alone is the killer feature. I like Github, but I am not that much of a social developer therefore all their social aspect to me is not that important and the fact that I need to keep my repositories open or pay is actually a downside when the competition does exactly the same thing without this problems.

  I wrote a blog post about mirroring your repos from github on bitbucket: https://deanclatworthy.com/2013/01/how-to-avoid-relying-on-github-mirror-your-repository/ https://deanclatworthy.com/2013/01/how-to-avoid-relying-on-g...

  GitLab CEO here, we're thinking about adding a mirroring feature to GitLab.com where every 15 minutes the repo will be synched. If there are only fast-forward changes these will be applied. Branches that can't be fast forwarded will trigger an error to be displayed in the interface. Would that help you keeping your repo updated?
iamcreasy 11y ago
Can anyone tell me, why GitHub doesn't have this feature yet? Every time I need to browse through the code on GitHub, I need to download the project and open it in an IDE. Very lengthy process. On the other hand this approach looks novel.
- efnx 11y ago
  I usually just search within the repo, that works well. It's a bit funny - some of these features github already has like code search and commit statistics. On bit bucket you have to pay for the plugin. One thing I wish github had was bitbucket's commit list with the line graph. That's helpful.
  - iamcreasy 11y ago
    Say, I want to see the definition of a class. If I try to search the repository using just the name of the class; the result is very messy. It shows me everywhere the class has been used. But that's not what I want. I want to go to the definition and BitBucket Connect demonstrates exactly that.
    - amccloud 11y ago
      Don't most languages have a symbol to denote a class definition. Search for that: class Namespace
      - iamcreasy 11y ago
        Yes, that's helpful. Thank you.

Tried CodeSearch, but after installing it and clicking on it, it shows a form that says it will "be available soon for private repos" and asks for a bunch of information. Tried the Graph plugin also -- after installing it and clicking on it, it shows a blank page. The HipChat integration works well, but they've had that for some time now.

  The Sourcegraph Code Search add-on will be available for private repositories soon. You can check it out on public code in the meantime; e.g., https://bitbucket.org/sourcegraph/atlassian-rest/addon/com.sourcegraph.bitbucket.addon/launch-search https://bitbucket.org/sourcegraph/atlassian-rest/addon/com.s... and https://bitbucket.org/sqs/go-aria/addon/com.sourcegraph.bitbucket.addon/launch-search https://bitbucket.org/sqs/go-aria/addon/com.sourcegraph.bitb....
