Bitbucket is a web-based hosting service for projects that use either the Mercurial (since launch) or Git (since October 2011[1]) revision control systems. Bitbucket offers both commercial plans and free accounts. It offers free accounts with an unlimited number of private repositories (which can have up to five users in the case of free accounts) as of September 2010, but by inviting three users to join Bitbucket, three more users can be added, for eight users in total.[2] Bitbucket is written in Python using the Django web framework.[3]

It is similar to GitHub, which primarily uses Git. In a 2008 blog post, Bruce Eckel compared Bitbucket favorably to Launchpad,[4] which uses Bazaar.

Pricing plans

Bitbucket offers multiple paid plans that allow repository owners to have more users in their account. Free private repositories are limited to 5 users. By upgrading to a paid plan for a monthly fee, more users can access the repository: 10 users for $10 a month (9€ a month), 25 users for $25 a month (22.50€ a month), 50 users for $50 a month (45€ a month), 100 users for $100 a month (90€ a month) and unlimited users for $200 a month (180€ a month).

Bitbucket also hosts free public repositories[5] and public wiki.

History

Bitbucket was previously an independent startup, founded by Jesper Nøhr. On 29 September 2010, Bitbucket was acquired by Atlassian.[6] Initially, Bitbucket only offered hosting support for Mercurial projects. On 3 October 2011, Bitbucket officially announced support for Git hosting.[7]

In September 2015, Atlassian renamed their Stash product to Bitbucket Server.[8]

The original symbol on the sticker of the bucket is the alchemical and planetary symbol for Mercury, and refers to Bitbucket hosting Mercurial repositories. The contents of the blue bucket is mercury metal.

When Bitbucket announced Git support, the sticker icon switched to be the primary logo of Atlassian.
