I don't particularly see the difference and switch between both pretty much daily - granted I don't take advantage of Github social features really.

If you don't take advantage of the Github social features, which is essentially what Github is all about, I don't think your opinion on the matter is worth sharing with everybody, no offense intended.

Which social features would you say are missing, bearing in mind that Bitbucket has teams, issue tracking, wikis, pull requests and code review features?

Honest question: why do you need a central repository (SVN style) if it's a private repo? I tend to develop my own projects mostly on two different machines, and the core code management and synchronization doesn't need anything but git itself. Is it so you can use bug trackers etc?

Offsite data backup of the entire repository for free.

I see. I suppose that makes sense if you mostly work on a single machine. (Since I usually oscillate between two machines I never think about backing up in addition to the normal work-flow.)

There's obviously a direct connection between the machines. Synchronization works exactly as it does when you synchronize with GitHub. It's just SSH.

I don't think it's that obvious. Could be sneakernet, dropbox, etc. Is setting up a lasting direct connect easy?

You shouldn't be downvoted. It's not obvious how to use git to communicate between two client-configured machines.

If one of them has a public domain name or IP, or they are both on the same LAN (likely when one is a laptop and they are owned by the same person), then it's simple to communicate via git.

But, it wouldn't be so easy for, as an example, you and I to share code between our laptops in different time zones, unless we used a stable server somewhere.

Has bitbucket had any security issues like github has had in the past?

They had one I reported Oct 2010, took a while to convince was an issue and they finally fixed a few months after saying they would. The URLS for attachments to private issues in private repos were guessable and publicly accessible if you guessed right (ie no authentication for them).

The URLs were like this ////attachmentname" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket-assetroot.s3.amazonaws.com/

Obviously a bit tedious to guess for humans, but no big deal for computers.

I've increasingly found myself using both GitHub and Bitbucket. In this vein, I just pushed up some changes to my list of Git utilities (https://github.com/mhartl/git-utils) that includes full pull request support for both GitHub and Bitbucket on OS X. In particular, if you're on branch foobar and want to issue a pull request to merge with master, you just type

    $ git pull-request
This pushes your local branch up to origin and opens the pull request page at GitHub or Bitbucket (depending on the relevant URL from .git/config).

The same Git utils repo includes git open, which opens the remote page for your project:

    $ git open
As with git pull-request, it works with both GitHub and Bitbucket (OS X only).

I feel like I am taking crazy pills whenever somebody says that mercurial is simpler than git. Mercurial's per-file revlog and structured .hg/store/data is way weirder / more complex than git's SHA-addressed DAG with minimal/orthogonal object types. The only real blemish on git is that lightweight tags should not exist.

I'm pretty sure he's talking from the user's perspective, not design/implementation.

From a user's perspective, Hg is so limited I consider it basically unusable.

JIRA is pretty sweet to keep things in order. Really? I use and love BitBucket, but the last 2 places I worked at used JIRA and it was the worst project management tool I've ever used. I'm sure someone will say they didn't configure it right or educate the devs or something. Seriously though, it was pushed down from upper management in both cases and it was a terrible experience.

We use JIRA at Etsy (although we use Github for code reviews, not crucible). It is certainly frustrating, but I tend to think it's a "the worst except the rest" situation. Do you have something you like significantly better? I've experimented with stuff like trello, basecamp etc. and still haven't found them significantly better.

We have been using YouTrack from Jetbrains. I'm finding that it gets a lot of the little things right.

http://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/ was really easy to get started with for us - things 'just work' much like all the Jetbrains products.

My comment didn't have anything to do with any features that Bitbucket may or may not be missing, so I'm not sure why you are asking me that?
