About Bitbucket
Bitbucket is the Git home for Atlassian shops: branches, pull requests, and Pipelines CI wired directly into Jira issues, so tickets update themselves as code moves. Pricing stays friendly for small teams. GitHub won the open-source world and the AI race, and Bitbucket’s community is comparatively quiet, but inside Jira-centric enterprises the workflow integration keeps paying.
