Earlier quoted context omitted.

I like BitBucket better then Github. That should be than. Then is an order of operations type deal, eg: I read the new BitBucket blog post and *then* I signed up whereas than is things like greater than , less than , it's for comparisons. http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/difficulties/thanthen.h...

So off topic, but... Has anyone ever tried to implement a 'crowd-correct' feature where a reader could do something like correct "then->than", and if enough users made the same correction (a couple high-rep users, or more low-rep users) it would stick. I supposed the biggest challenge would be user abuse -- changing even just one word can completely change the meaning of a comment, and yet the comment would still be…

This sounds like a really great idea, I think the simplest way that would avoid abuse is if fixes were sent to the user so they could change it, but instead of needing to edit the comment manually (copy change -> remove old -> paste) they can view a diff and either "accept" or "reject". It wouldn't be perfect but it would be better than people needing to reply (like I did).

For a while I was a bit worried that GitHub had just ran away with the prize and no one else was bothering. It is pretty obvious that Google isn't interested in improving Google Code and that Sourceforge hasn't aged a day (that's not really fair, but it feels like it). I think there is still a chance for BitBucket to make a splash, but I think its going to be hard to win anymore. That's fine, 2nd place makes a lot of…

GitHub nails the public code space, with social features.

Bitbucket nails the private project space; so for small dev companies they are perfect.

I've been a BB user from early on and they have successfully focused on this niche for some time now.

I'd say both are equally perfect options for their respective usage :-)

Those free private repos are awesome and liberating - instead of bundling whole solutions into repos I'm just making them for anything now because the difference between a dozen repos and a few dozen is $0 a year instead of $600.

Bitbucket's self-hosted enterprise product Stash is priced aggressively. It's free for open source projects, non-profits and classrooms. For small teams (up to 10 users), it costs just $10/year, all in, and you get the source code. http://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/pricing Contrast with Github where the minimum purchase is 1 seat pack (up to 20 users), costing $5000/year, and you don't get any access to the the…

Oh, I just realized the $10 was for a year but not a month.

Bitbucket had a pretty easy time of winning my business: free private repositories for small teams is a great way to draw people in.

How long will it take for the private repos to be hacked? Would you put the company revenue generating jewels in there?

Same thing here. I used to pay for github for a private repo for code to a couple of apps I sell. Once I found BB, it was a no brainer to switch over.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks exactly like Github?

Not exactly the same, but they copied a lot from GitHub.

And to my mind, that's just fine. Github gets a lot of stuff right, so making it similar makes sense. The differences are significant enough that you couldn't mistake one for the other.

I wrote a blog post on BitBucket workflow (obviously now it's outdated) and the BitBucket team sent me a free tshirt!

I love their website and how you can create free private repos. Good business practice: Unlimited private projects, limited contributers on private projects. Win-win

Github is just greedy.
