Bitbucket
▁ jul 12 2008
Today I’m announcing Bitbucket. What is it? It’s a hosting service for Mercurial, which is a DVCS, much like Git or Bazaar.
What does it do? It hosts your mercurial project with,
- A simple, yet powerful web interface
- Access control, multiple readers and writers
- Push/pull over HTTP(s) and SSH
- Issue tracker
- Social aspect (following users/repos, events, etc.)
- Supports OpenID
- and more…
There are plans for all needs, and a very generous free plan, so you can go right ahead and get started.
This is the project I’ve been working on for the past couple of months, together with my good friend Eirik Stavem, who’s in charge of all things interface and quality control.
Any feedback is much appreciated!
BitBucket is the answer to many a Mercurial user’s envious wish. Thank you for making it.
