It is a pleasure to me to announce that Bitbucket now supports Git repos in addition to Mercurial. As they say “All the features you expect from Bitbucket, with unlimited private repos for free.” For independent developers who are willing to maintain their code (even if it’s private) in a secure place; then this is a reliable, full of features and great option.

This is also good news if you don’t want to have your Mercurial repositories in one place while having the Git ones in another one. Having all your repositories in one place, while at the same time enjoying a lot of new features is now possible.

Thanks to BitBucket for their support to the Open Source community (and independent developers as well)

Clarification Note: Bitbucket does not pay me, I don’t even have direct contact with them. I just think this is something that should be shared.
