Why would you ever willingly choose bitbucket over Gitlab? Does 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.

For what it's worth, we use the Visual Studio Code extension for reviewing pull requests ; it comes with syntax highlighting and it's more performant than a web-based interface.

I'm so confused why their Cloud offering is so different than their Bitbucket Server.

Because Bitbucket Server had syntax highlighting probably for more than a decade now.

Migrating from github: Sure, lots of reasons why you might want to do that. Just being sure you can has value.

Migrating to Bitbucket: Uh....

I don't really see any way in which Bitbucket is better than Github. Or, frankly, any other alternative. It exists due to inertia and/or to serve people irrevocably emeshed in the Atlassian ecosystem. I can understand why you might not have switched away yet, but switching to it?

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

Better than both GitLab and BitBucket.

GitLab's feature set is similar if you fork over a few truck loads of money.

Bitbucket 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.

We just switched from GitLab to GitHub because the CI is horrible and they changed the pricing to a very bad option in our case. Without adding features we use we would've had to pay four times the money. 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 r…

This is so contra to my own experiences that I'm wondering if your gitlab setup was horribly configured..?

Did you self-host? How did you deploy it?

Gitlab CI has been "the best"(tm) self-hosted CI solution I've used.

GL is pretty great at the following: cost, permissions and CICD.

The pricing has changed recently, grandfathered in organisations have reasonable pricing (relative to GitHub) but the pricing for new organisations is much more expensive than GitHub. You can compare GitLab on features, but if you want to use those features the pricing is not comparable (GitLab's $100/user/m vs. GitHub's $21/user/m). https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/01/26/new-gitlab-product-...

GitLab ultimate is a Jira competitor, not a GitHub competitor.

GitLab Premium is ($19/month + runners + [optional] self hosting) vs ($21/month + possibly leaking your code/secrets in copilot).

And, in my opinion, GitLab CI has a much better feature set and integration than GitHub's. You have so much opportunity to optimize the performance of your runners just off the bat. It's quite amazing especially for people with larger repos (ex: monorepo companies).

What's unethical about GitHub?

I was referring to the current controversy with licensing of co-pilot code and them serving ICE customers.

And the NSA. And vendor-locking-in accounts to participate in what should be decentralized git for source code management.

I know it's easy to slam Atlassian but Jira is still widely used.

I've found the ability to tie tickets to commits really nice. And it's CI is good enough.

Not saying it's better than other solutions use what makes sense for you.

Hi, we added CI workshops into the docs in the past year: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/quick_start/ and worked on more learning resources at https://about.gitlab.com/learn/

The new CI/CD pipeline editor also improves the getting started experience, shown in a demo workshop in the GitLab 14 community meetup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSspEk8efHE

Can you elaborate a bit more on the CI configuration problems you are running into? Thanks!

The killer feature of Bitbucket over GitHub was that they hosted Mercurial repositories. Since they stopped doing that and deleted all my Mercurial repos I haven’t seen any reason to use them.
