What is Bitbucket? how it is different from github

[SaurabhS55]

Bitbucket and GitHub are both web-based hosting services for code repositories, but they differ in a few key areas:

1. VCS Support:

   • Bitbucket supports Git and Mercurial, while GitHub primarily supports Git.

2. Pricing:

   • Bitbucket offers free private repositories for small teams, while GitHub used to charge for private repositories but now offers them for free for small teams as well.

3. Integration:

   • Bitbucket integrates well with Atlassian tools like Jira and Trello, while GitHub has a wider range of third-party integrations.

4. Ownership:

   • Bitbucket is owned by Atlassian, and GitHub is owned by Microsoft.

Ultimately, the choice depends on factors like VCS preference, integration needs, and budget.
