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.

Working with Bitbucket feels like every click compiles a linux-kernel in the background.

I wonder if this is on purpose. Like starbucks burning their beans: to ensure a consistent experience across the whole franchise.

`sleep(6)` on every click.

Google will buy them in a few years and shut it down not long after.

What's unethical about GitHub?

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

This might not be concerning to you but they also had some run-ins with sexist and racist behaviour.

It was what pushed my hobby group to Gitlab, though I recently set up github for my company as a temporary measure.

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.

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.

bitbucket server is a very different product. It's not the cloud version that's been containerized.

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.

So is Oracle and SAP ;)

I don't know if somethings going on, but the last couple of weeks, Bitbucket has been incredibly slow, with pull request merges taking minutes for a tiny ( This pull request is being merged in the background. This typically only takes a few seconds but may take longer. You can safely navigate away. banner is now completely familiar to our dev team. I've seen the merge sometimes randomly fail (refreshing that screen c…

I experience exactly the same problem. After hitting the merge button, the UI sometimes reaches a completely inconsistent state.

Atlassian has a separate tool chain, FishEye and Crucible, for code reviews. It's a separate product with a separate license and very few people seem to use it, but the Atlassian suite is meant to be a suite, as in many separate tools for specific purposes, instead of Gitlab's approach of having everything built into the core product. Atlassian's actual code review tooling is just as good as Gitlab's and really better because you can use it across arbitrary repo sources and don't actually need your code to be in Bitbucket or in a single repo or a single server at all.

You're just not using it if you only use Bitbucket.

All of the enterprise US Intelligence Community developer platforms I worked on used the Atlassian suite. And, so far, all of the DoD ones I've been working on have used Gitlab.

Selling to military, spy agencies, and law enforcement is not in any way unique to Microsoft and GitHub.

Why invest a lot of effort this year in a “new pull request experience” then? https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/try-the-n...
