-
Mercurial and Git Support: Unlike GitHub (which primarily supports Git), Bitbucket supports both Git and Mercurial repositories.
-
Private Repositories: Bitbucket allows free private repositories, making it a good choice for closed-source projects.
-
Integration with Jira: Bitbucket integrates seamlessly with Jira, Atlassian’s issue and project tracking tool.
-
Access Control: Bitbucket provides fine-grained access control, allowing you to manage permissions at the repository, branch, and user levels.
