      Why everyone on Bitbucket not Github?

      1. 4

        Bitbucket offers free private repos. I used gitlab for the same reason.

      2. 4

        Why is anyone on Bitbucket or Github? I use GitLab and it has everything I want 👍

      3. 3

        I much prefer Gitlab to Bitbucket. Free private repos and much better than BB.

      4. 1

        Yeah its because of the free private repos. And great intergration with Atlassian project management

    How could you not mention following -

    1. Facebook [pages/group]
    2. Twitter
    3. UserCV
    4. Linkedin
    5. Pinterest
    1. 1

      It's easy to not mention them if they're not his "favorite". They may be useful (or may not be) depending on what your business is.

    2. 1

      I was hoping for some more handy and inspirational tools
