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

I've tried at least a dozen Git GUIs for both PC and Mac and SourceTree is by far my favorite.
I hate how slow it is. After I get to the commit screen it thrashes my CPU and takes ages before my typing shows up. It's still the best on OSX though.

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 $5000/year, and you don't get any access to the the…
I am really curious: Why does getting access to the source code matter? (I am just asking since it seems to be a selling point, and I have never really modified the code of a tool that I have used. For example, how many people modify Eclipse, or Maven, or BugZilla's source code?)
The design is very clean and appealing. I'm glad to see they're still investing significant effort. I want to see Bitbucket get more visibility and success. I prefer Mercurial. Among other things, it has better cross platform support. Bitbucket added Git a while ago. I wish Github would add Mercurial. Bitbucket also offers unlimited private repos. That means I only use Github for OSS projects. I use Bitbucket for eve…
Have you tried hg-git? I've been using it as my sole way of interacting (well, other than the web interface) with GitHub and I haven't run into any showstoppers.
My workaround is to also keep a local git mirror (git clone --mirror) and push through it:
~/repo$ hg push ~/repo.git
~/repo$ cd ~/repo.git
~/repo.git$ git push upstream

Can you elaborate on why? I've found it to be far from intuitive and basically a direct mapping of CLI commands straight into UI elements. A user unfamiliar with command line git arguments would have a difficult time with SourceTree, I would imagine (most of my coworkers have).
A user unfamiliar with command line git arguments would have a difficult time with SourceTree Let's be honest about git: A user unfamiliar with the CLI commands will have a difficult time, period. I hesitate to predict that it's impossible to create a good UX, but git is a very complicated system with an abstraction that leaks all the way down to database records. Breathe on it wrong and the repository will wedge int…

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…

Bitbucket had a pretty easy time of winning my business: free private repositories for small teams is a great way to draw people in.
It also integrates with several atlassian products, namely Jira which in my opinion beats github's issue tracker into the dust.
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…
* Free private repo for small teams
* Unlimited private repos for pay customers (price is per user)
Github's pricing with a limit in the repo number makes it pretty much impossible to use if you're in the service business and you start a new project quite often. It may be fine for the startup with one main project, I guess.
