Bitbucket is a distributed version control system (DVCS) code hosting site that supports Mercurial and Git. With Mercurial and Git, your data is distributed by definition but you still need a place to share it and keep track of your development. That is where Bitbucket comes in.
You may need to check why I choose bitbucket over github.
Bitbucket provides a fully-featured environment for managing your development project, including a code repository, a wiki (naturally backed by Mercurial and Git – you can clone it), a powerful issue tracker and easy collaboration with others.
Simply put, Bitbucket takes the pain out of sharing code and lets you focus on what you do best: Code. 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).
Here are quick steps to setup BitBucket Repository to you Eclipse Environment.
1) Register for Bitbucket.
2) Create Private/Public repository
3) On Overview page https://bitbucket.org/dashboard/overview, look for your repository information.
4) Open Eclipse. Install new software.
5) Install eGit in Eclipse. URL: http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
6) Select egit form option and click next and finish install.
7) Now Open Perspective and choose Git Repository
8) Click Clone Repository Button
9) Enter your Bitbucket URL and User Information
10) Click Finish and you are all set.
11) You should see your Bitbucket repository now in eclipse.
Do let me know if you encounter any issue while setting this up. Now what? Now setup SmartGit with your BitBucket repository to do all kind of commit, put, etc GIT operations.
Thanks,
