#22Re: How to Migrate a Git Repository from GitHub to Bitbucket
#23Ethical concerns aside*, I far preferred Github to BitBucket. Bitbucket has been incredibly unstable for the last few years that I've been using it at work. I regularly see the "We're experiencing issues..." banner when I review pull requests. We don't use bitbucket pipelines, but they seem to be the most unstable part of the product. I haven't used Gitlab in years so I can't give any up-to-date commentary on that as…
What's unethical about GitHub?
Re: How to Migrate a Git Repository from GitHub to Bitbucket
#24Does Bitbucket offer syntax highlighting when reviewing code changes yet? When we used it (before migrating to Gitlab) you had to install a third party browser extension.
What a joke.
Edit: nope, not yet: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-8673. Opened in 2014.

#25I'd like to send out my sympathy for any team members at companies moving to BitBucket. Good luck. In my experience the offerings of GitLab are far better
Amen. GitLab: every thing but each thing is just okay GitHub: some things but each thing is great Bitbucket: some things but each is just okay

I would strongly disagree that github's code review features are "great".

#27Step 1: Don't The only thing bitbucket has going for it is that it's the same biller as all the other mediocre software you're using most days. It's pretty awful.
It was cheaper for private repositories (free for teams less than 5) for a long time. I think Gitlab is cheaper now.

#28Bitbucket is horribly antiquated (along with all Atlasssian software IMO), why not go to GitLab - it's code management, merges request workflows and discussions are excellent for peer review and the CI/CD is fantastic.

The CI just sucks, it's very flaky and just outright unstable sometimes. The configuration is pure horror. It takes ages to implement simple stuff. In two years I didn't get sonarcloud annotations on our damn pull requests to work. The UI just sucks. I don't know why you want to switch from GitHub to GitLab? We're happy with the switch.
