Bitbucket Server (formerly known as Stash [18] ) is a combination Git server and web interface product written in Java and built with Apache Maven. [19] It allows users to do basic Git operations (such as reviewing or merging code, similar to GitHub) while controlling read and write access to the code. It also provides integration with other Atlassian tools. [20]

Bitbucket Server is a commercial software product that can be licensed for running on-premises. [21] Atlassian provides Bitbucket Server for free to open source projects meeting certain criteria, and to organizations that are non-profit, non-government, non-academic, non-commercial, non-political, and secular. For academic and commercial customers, the full source code is available under a developer source license. [21]

History

Bitbucket was previously an independent startup company, founded by Jesper Nøhr in 2008. [22] On 29 September 2010, Bitbucket was acquired by Atlassian. [23] In September 2015, Atlassian renamed their Stash product to Bitbucket Server. [24] In July 2016, Bitbucket added support for Git Large File Storage (LFS). [8] In March 2020, Bitbucket Server controversially dropped support for viewing three way diffs [25] and in July 2020, Bitbucket Cloud removed support for its original repository format Mercurial.

Git is a distributed version control system that tracks versions of files. It is often used to control source code by programmers who are developing software collaboratively.

In software development, distributed version control is a form of version control in which the complete codebase, including its full history, is mirrored on every developer's computer. Compared to centralized version control, this enables automatic management branching and merging, speeds up most operations, improves the ability to work offline, and does not rely on a single location for backups. Git, the world's most popular version control system, is a distributed version control system.

Many repositories provide a bug tracking system, and offer release management, mailing lists, and wiki-based project documentation. Software authors generally retain their copyright when software is posted to a code hosting facilities.

In version control systems, a repository is a data structure that stores metadata for a set of files or directory structure. Depending on whether the version control system in use is distributed, like Git or Mercurial, or centralized, like Subversion, CVS, or Perforce, the whole set of information in the repository may be duplicated on every user's system or may be maintained on a single server. Some of the metadata that a repository contains includes, among other things, a historical record of changes in the repository, a set of commit objects, and a set of references to commit objects, called heads.
