About Bitbucket

Best for development teams invested in the Atlassian ecosystem.

Bitbucket is a Git-based source code repository hosting service owned by Atlassian, offering both cloud and self-hosted options. It provides built-in CI/CD through Bitbucket Pipelines, pull request workflows, and code review tools for development teams of all sizes.
