Michael, great work as always. Your tutorials helped me to get up to speed on Rails quickly. Just curious, is there any particular reason you switched from GitHub to Bitbucket in your tutorial?

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, this is the subject of [Box 1.4](http://draft.railstutorial.org/book/beginning#aside-github_b...). The tl;dr is that Bitbucket is free for private repos, which for security purposes the new edition uses by default.

I agree, great tutorials. I was also wondering the same thing about Bitbucket.

Thanks for also replying, I wouldn't have seen this otherwise.
