Bitbucket, by Atlassian, is a fantastic tool for managing your code repository. Whether you’re working solo or with a team, Bitbucket helps you to keep track of your projects, control version history, and collaborate smoothly. In this article, we’ll go through the step-by-step process of configuring Bitbucket. But don’t worry — I’ll keep the language simple!
Step 1: Creating an Account
Before you can do anything, you’ll need to have a Bitbucket account.
Go to the Bitbucket website ( Bitbucket | Git solution for teams using Jira ).
Click on the ‘Get it free’ button on the homepage.
You can either sign up with an Atlassian account, Google, or Microsoft. Fill in your details and click ‘Sign up.’
Congratulations! You now have a Bitbucket account.
Step 2: Creating a Repository
Next up, we’ll create a repository — or repo for short. This is where your project’s files and their revision history will be stored.
Once you’re logged in, click on the ‘+’ icon on the left sidebar and select ‘Repository.’
Fill in the ‘Repository name.’ Make sure it’s something descriptive, so you’ll remember what’s in there.
You can also add a description (optional) to provide more details about your repo.
Choose ‘This is a private repository’ if you don’t want others to see your code. If you’re okay with it being public, leave the box unchecked.
Under ‘Version control system,’ choose ‘Git’ — it’s the most popular option.
Click on ‘Create repository.’
Step 3: Configuring Repository Settings
Now, let’s configure your repo settings.
Go to your newly created repository and click on ‘Settings’ in the bottom left of the sidebar.
Here, you can modify things like repository details, access permissions, and more.
Under ‘Access Management,’ you can invite team members to your repo and set their permissions (read, write, or admin).
Don’t forget to click ‘Save’ after making changes. Read More..
