 * I think it's referring to this campaign of extending the free offer from 5 to 8 users when inviting new users. But AFAICT it's been discontinued now; I changed it. -- intgr [talk] 21:35, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Either way, such details are probably not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Just go to the company site for the latest prices, not here. W Nowicki (talk) 22:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Merge
I see Bitbucket Server (software) is a stubby article with no independent sources. It needs to be either merged or deleted. W Nowicki (talk) 22:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Product Updates since 2015
I work for Atlassian and would like to provide some factual product updates that have been made to Bitbucket since the page was last updated with a feature in March 2015 (snippets). I also noticed that there isn't a section that provides what functionality Bitbucket supports and wanted to be straight forward with feature updates made by adding a 'Services' section to the page. My suggested edits are below in BOLD that outline product updates, who owns Bitbucket (Atlassian), pricing updates, historical launch dates of features and integration Bitbucket provides.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bitbucket is a web-based hosting service for source code and development projects that use either  the  Git (since October 2011 ) or Mercurial (since launch) version control systems that is owned by Atlassian. 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. Bitbucket integrates with other Atlassian software like JIRA Software, HipChat, Confluence and Bamboo. '''

It is similar to GitHub, which primarily uses Git. Bitbucket has traditifonally tailored itself towards helping professional developers with private proprietary code, especially since being acquired by Atlassian in 2010. In September 2016, Bitbucket announced it had reached 5 million developers and 900,000 teams on its platform. Bitbucket has 3 deployment models: Cloud, Bitbucket Server and Data Center.

In a 2008 blog post, Bruce Eckel compared Bitbucket favorably to Launchpad, which uses Bazaar.

Bitbucket
Bitbucket is written in Python using the Django web framework.

Scope
'''Bitbucket is mostly used for code and code review. Bitbucket supports the following features:'''
 * Pull requests with code review and comments
 * Bitbucket Pipelines
 * 2 step verification and required 2 step verification
 * IP whitelisting
 * Merge Checks
 * Code search (Alpha)
 * Git Large File Storage (LFS)
 * Documentation, including automatically rendered README files in a variety of Markdown-like file formats
 * Issue tracking
 * Wikis
 * Static sites hosted on Bitbucket Cloud: Static websites have the bitbucket.io domain in their URL
 * Add-ons and integrations
 * REST APIs to build third party applications which can use any development language
 * Snippets that allow developers to share code segments or files
 * Smart Mirroring

Pricing plans
'''Bitbucket Cloud announced it is moving to a per user pricing plan in early 2017 with 3 tiers: Free, Standard and Premium. The free plan is free for up to 5 users with unlimited private repositories. The Standard Plan is $2/user/month starting at $10 per month and the Premium Plan is $5/user/month with extra administrative features like IP Whitelisting, Mirroring, Merge checks, and required 2-step verification.''' Until this pricing plan launches, Bitbucket offers multiple paid plans that allow repository owners to have more users in their account. Free private repositories are limited to five 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 and public wikis. Users on a free plan can have unlimited public and private repositories. There is no limit to how many users can edit/read public repositories, private repositories however are limited to 5 users which can be increased by choosing a paid plan.

'''Bitbucket is free for students and teachers if they sign up with an academic email address. Academic users get unlimited academic collaborators.'''

Bitbucket is free for open source licenses if it is licensed under a license approved by the Open Source Initiative, the project source code is available for download and the open source project has a publicly accessible website.

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


 * In March 2015, Snippets was launched, which provides a way to share code snippets with oneself or others.
 * In September 2015, Atlassian renamed their Stash product to Bitbucket Server.
 * In July 2016, Bitbucket added support for Git Large File Storage (LFS).
 * In October 2016, Bitbucket launched Bitbucket Pipelines - a continuous delivery service in Bitbucket's UI that lets users build, test and deploy their code.
 * In February 2017, Bitbucket launched IP whitelisting so users can block their private content by IP.

Logo
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.

Meaning of first sentence
As the first sentence is formulated now, my interpretation is that Atlassian owns Mercurial and Git, but the ownership of the bitbucket web service is undisclosed. First of all, I don't know if this is correct, but my understanding is that Atlassian own bitbucket, but not Git. I do not know about Mercurial. If that is correct, I would say

"Bitbucket is a web-based hosting service owned by Atlassian, used for source code and development projects that use either Mercurial (since launch) or Git (since October 2011[2]) revision control systems.

However, not having English as my mother-tongue, I would not make the edit directly. Can anyone confirm if I am right (or just make the edit)? 91.150.252.126 (talk) 08:41, 4 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Please go ahead and edit. This is not a well maintained article and nobody even cares enough to make Bgamer88's requested edits. -- intgr [talk] 01:30, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Summary
The summary mentions that registration is "Required with optional OpenID" but I cannot find any OpenID support in the registration process, can you?

Should there be a pricing section?
There are four sources in the prices section, all from the vendor, which contraindicates that this is the subject of critical commentary. WP:NOPRICES is usually the rule: An article should not include product pricing or availability information unless there is an independent source and a justified reason for the mention. In other words, unless there's a good reason to list prices we don't. Can someone explain why there should be such a section? -- Bri.public (talk) 18:28, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
