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…

The github GUI for Mac/Windows solves this problem completely, by hiding the vast majority of git's power-user features. (No stage, no no tracking branches, no manual rebasing.)

I believe it's Tower that plays that role. I know a designer who uses it, who would be bewildered by the CLI git.

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

Can someone explain whats the catch ? Looks like I can host my $22 github account for free on bitbucket.

No catch, I've been using it for years, and always wondered why people preferred github.

I'm having trouble thinking of reasons why bitbucket is used so much less than github - or at least why it seems that way. It's looking pretty damn good to me right now!

I'll tell you why: the 'git' in 'github' which helped to create all the hype around it. I came across lots of developers that thought github was somehow related to Linus, and for them and everyone else it was almost intuitive that github was the way to go if you wanted to use git.

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

For what it's worth, all of Atlassian's company revenue generating jewels are hosted on Bitbucket, so security is fairly important to us. :)

You're giving out your product's source code to customers anyway. How is hosting slightly newer versions of it on your own servers a big thing?

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

It looks just like it. If GitHub were Apple, they would be preparing a lawsuit over trade dress claims right about now...

Yeah I can imagine the patent infringement: "a web interface for source version control" -.-

I never manage to figure out where is Bazaar and Launchpad in all this game...

every time I try to think of a more "friendly" git, it's Bzr that pops into my mind, not Hg, but... where does one "put it on the map" in the DVCS and related services world?

Traction. But BitBucket will continue to get better, and Atlassian doesn't produce shit products.

Maybe it is just the installations I have had to use in the past (Possibly installed on slow computers or requiring too many custom fields etc) but as an issue reporter I loath JIRA as a slow and clunky issue tracker which also makes finding issues annoying. Maybe it has wonderful features for the developer side but I haven't used that part of it so I cannot comment. Whenever I go to report a bug on a project and fin…

Yeah, my first impression of JIRA was pretty bad as well..

there is no catch. their business model is not on repo count, but collaborators count. in other words, solo devs and very small teams can freeride, if you grow bigger you start paying. also, it's backed up by Atlassian.

I wouldn't say Atlassian is an asset. Jira is horrible.

For me Jira is great, apart from the fact that our corporate install is quite slow sometimes it's the best bug tracking software I've used.

IMHO, Git-Tower is way better than SourceTree.

Git-Tower is $60. SourceTree is free. Compare accordingly.

If you write software for a living, I would think you would see the value in a good piece of code.
