 What is Bitbucket?

It is a cloud-based service which allows the teams/developers to store the source code and manage it.

Bitbucket and GitHub are very similar in work however, each tool has its own functionality and reason to choose.

 Introduction

  • It is a source code repository hosting service owned by Atlassian. A source code repository means it is a storage place where you can store your code. You can store it locally or on a remote server. It is a product of Atlassian.
  •  It makes use of Git Version Control System, and it has developed features like UI, servers, and integration around the Git System. Version Control means – it can track the changes.
  •  It was created by Jesper Noehr in 2008.
  •  It is the native Git Tool in Atlassian’s Open DevOps.
  •  It has a built-in CI/CD solution (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment). CI/CD is a methodology used to automate the building, testing, and deployment of applications, whether in the cloud or on-premises. It is commonly referred to as the CI/CD pipeline, which effectively bridges the gap between development and operations. Many organizations utilize third-party tools such as Jenkins and Ansible; however, if you're using Bitbucket, it comes with an integrated CI/CD solution.
  •  It has the best built-in integration with Jira (for reporting bugs/issues in apps/projects) and Trello (a web-based Kanban-style tool). Both products are owned by Atlassian.
  •  Both Bitbucket and GitHub offer public and private repositories. These platforms are widely used for version control and collaboration in software development projects, allowing users to manage and share their code in a secure environment. Whether you're working on open-source projects or private company code, Bitbucket and GitHub provide the necessary tools to streamline the development process.
  •  Usually, Bitbucket is cheaper than GitHub if you’re using a paid version.
