When you need a private repo why do you use BitBucket? I've used the private repos on GitHub and found them to work just fine, but I'm new to coding...
BitBucket is free for private repos with less than five people. Doesn't work for a lot of businesses, which is where most of the money is.
..but if they didn't charge what does it matter that it's where the money is?
Because when your team gets to 6 people, you A) have money (hopefully) and B) your code is already in BitBucket, so choosing to pay them over GitHub is a no brainer.
BitBucket private repos are free, GitHub's are not.
ahh.. that makes sense then. :)
Bit bucket is free. This is coming from someone who currently pays for a private github account.
