GitHub vs Bitbucket Comparison

- Simple and clean user interface - Tons of functionality - GitHub Actions to run automated tasks - Integrated board to track your work

- More expensive than competitors like bitbucket

Easy to set up, open source, and compatible with a lot of other platforms.

The UI feels outdated compared to bitbucket

Github actions make my CI/CD process effective.

More CI/CD tools to compete with bitbucket.

The facilities that Github provides for new and old users.

You need to pay to have a secret project. BitBucket gives it for free.

I believe the main thing that they have nailed in Github is the look and feel. You never have any issues with the layout, everything works and is placed where they are expected to be.

There is no incentive for me to use the paid version. I would prefer to use bitbucket for the private repos which is free. I like both github and bitbucket but if I had to pay I would still pay bitbucket due to its ecosystem.

An invaluable resource for any developer, couldn't work without it.

no private repos for the free version, unlike BitBucket

The CI/CK pipeline for DevOps is a monster feature. It enable Software Engineers complete deployment within hrs.

The UI is but tiresome & intimidating comparing to BitBucket.

Remote dev team collaboration. Security. Organized and easy to use.

Pricing is a not as good as Bitbucket, but features are great.

It’s beginner friendly and its rich collaboration capabilities, and ability to build a d deploy code right from GitHub. With GitHub Actions automation can be done easily

It only hosts hit repos whereas others like bitbucket support SVN as well

GitHub is easy to easy to use and a very nice tool for code commit and repository. I have been using GitHub for a long time now and I really like it

GitHub could allow few private repositories as compared to BitBucket that allows pivate repos.

- stability - easy to use - lots of features I like a lot the fact that the interface is clean and quite unchanged among the time. I like a lot the issue section and they file comparison view. insights are also interesting from a performance analysis in a team environment.

- compared to Bitbucket, for private repos you have to pay. So in general for my private projects, from an R&D perspective, I still use Bitbucket. I mainly use Github on a company level, collaborating with my employees or colleagues

GitHub has easier to use interface. Forking a project is easy. Pull Request are trackable.

Gitlab and bitbucket have their own CI/CD tool. Hope to see that soon in Github.

1) Great way to share code and store projects. 2) Easy to use 3) Is the biggest code community. 4) I love that now you can have private repositories for free.

1) Make a Pull request is kind of complicated if we compare it to Bitbucket

Simple and elegant UI for managing your codebase and working with other team members. Has an amazing community of open source projects. No one else comes close in this area.

No free plan for private repositories. Bitbucket and Gitlab provide the same for free. Can be expensive for indie developers.

Secure and easy to use. GUI and CLI based

price bit high in comparison with other available software

It's clean and feature-rich with constant updates done every few days. The repository structure's user interface is easy to understand.

Pull request review structure may not be as intuitive as other products as compared to Bitbucket.

A lot of free features from the get-go: private repositories, build minutes, storage, and almost everything that a solo developer/small business needs to start.

Nothing really. If I have to say something I don't like, it would have to be the "paywall" in front of some new cutting-edge features. (Co-pilot, Codespaces, etc)

Why wouldn't you use GitHub? It's free and there is a shed load of really useful libraries on there!

Not so great for private repositories. There are other providers (bitBucket, for example) that offer more.

- Great code search; often someone else has implemented a thing you need. - Open source collaborations made easy - License info is visible and accessible so you know how you can use code you find

- Merge conflicts still a painful experience - Would be nice to have an easier way to squash commits on the website.

- one of the best things about GitHub is its vast community of fellow developers - over 40 million users and over 100 million projects are using this code repository platform. It makes it possible to create such projects as Angular 9.0.0, for example, where numerous people across the globe are working as a team to create a better product. - bug tracking and code reviewing is simple to manage, which makes it easier to work on the same projects by a team - unlike BitBucket and GitLab, GitHub also supports SVN repositories, not just git, so that's an advantage as well, in case your project needs svn.

It's more expensive than BitBucket and GitLab, but it's worth it, so that's not really a disadvantage.

Github is the best to store open source code, there is not doubt for me

Private is only on paid version, but competitors like bitbucket and gitlab offers private for free users

It is a cost-effective tool and fully free to a small team. It has a very simple and manageable interface. (for example branch view)

Compared with other version control systems like Bitbucket, it doesn't compatible with a project management tool like JIRA.

Github has a very elegent UI for both desktop as well as mobile. Thus a beginner can also use it with ease. Also it provides wiki, issue tracking in built so that users don't have to depend on other trackers.

The private repo is a bit costly as compared to other sites such as gitlab or bitbucket.

Ease of use, simple user interface, easy to search things in the same repository and all of the github. Free private repositories even for normal users.

Basically I didn't find any cons when compared to other code management sites like bitbucket, gitlab etc.

Source Code Control Version Management Branching Access and Authentication Integration and Tools available

UI could be more controls and features like Bitbucket some commands could have been simpler (some are confusing)

At the time I discovered Bitbucket, it allowed to created private repositories, unline GitHub, which only allowed public repos on the free tier account. I used Bitbucket to keep my private notes on pentesting and for studies of sensitive topics. Today, I mainly use Bitbucket for source code review, since it also has all important git features.

It is not as used as GitHub, so there are a lot less products being shared through GitHub.

I like to use it for personal projects because of the bigger number of available private repository.

The community support is lesser than github because of the smaller community and the sheer popularity of github.

You can self-host much cheaper than competitors there is free version too Simple than their competitor

Github and Gitlab feature richer Gitlab also support self-host for free Not popular as github or gitlab

It is good fpr private repositories and has all the essential features needed to work on projects. It is easy to set up and use.

It has some features missing which Github offers and is a little more expensive. It is not as complete as Github.

It does the basics well enough. The UI is generally simple and straight-forward.

It lacks many important features when compared to GitHub - such as integrated CI/CD with GitHub Workflows, integrated issue tracking and project planning.

I really liked the integration with Jira where the branch and it's commits were directly linked in the Jira card. Also, for beginners it is very easy to use at first due to the friendly design and UX. Pull requests that required reviews can be easily found just by checking which one does not have any reviewers photo on the side, it is very visual and helpful.

Not so stable and lacks a strong community like Github has. Also had many issues due to permissions changes. Could provide more data like Github, showing stats about commits, traffic, such as the insights sections in GitHub.

The integration with JIRA and Confluence is 'amazing'. Seamless copy and paste code commits and builds (BB pipelines)

Some third party tools like Netlify support only github for 'enhanced' integration. Runtime limitations of BB pipelines vs standard default github actions

Unlimited private repositories and Built in continuous delivery.

Our team is super integrated with github.

Unlike GitHub, BitBucket offers free private repositories and less steep pricing per user.

GitHub benefits from greater network effects from a much broader user base. Most open source repositories are hosted on GitHub rather than on BitBucket.

Easy to setup and use. Uses Git and Mercury as revision control system. Easily integrate with JIRA and Confluence. Easy to manage different code repositories. Feature to restrict access to different users per branch and repository makes it easier to maintain privacy.

Switching between different branches is not as easy as in Github. It lacks in an effective Pull Request feature as provided by Github.

Version control just like github, able to upload your latest code build on this service quickly and efficiently.

Getting used to it and learning take sometimes as our team went from github to this. Bitbucket is less supported compare to github.

Gives you git repos, team management, and many integrations. Free for individual private plans which makes it great for solo developers and small teams.

Industry standard is still Github. UX is not quite as good as Github and some elements of the UI feel a bit awkward.

providing private repos to protect your projects source code and making it easy for all people to work on the same project at the same time

should be there an integration with github to increase the open source community and provide more services like github but with private repo

Bitbucket is nice. It has a good interface and can be straightforward to use. Accounts are free which is nice.

It just isn't as nice or widely used as GitHub. It doesn't have a better PR system than GitHub, or a better interface.

Bitbucket, unlike most of its competitors, supports non-git version control systems such as Mercurial and Perforce. That's the main advantage I'd say (and honestly the only reason to pick it over GitHub or GitLab IMO).

Here's a small list - the UI is not nearly as beautiful or snappy as GitHub's or GitLab's - the UX can be confusing, e.g. it was hard to get used to the menu bar - almost complete lack of a community presence - no wiki collaboration feature

You can make up to 3 free private Repos. Has good customer support. Very powerful VCS like GitHub and others.

I think they should consider increasing private repo limit as Github make it for free now. They don't have issues on the code like GitHub.
