Use Bitbucket Resources in another application

Question

I am software engineering student and I have to create a new project for one of my courses.

I've designed my application solution which needs to use git as a backend service. it needs git basics operations such as create a user, grant accesses, manage ssh keys, commit, push and etc, so I tried to run a git server but I thought it will be a better solution if application uses a perfect service like bitbucket.

so my question is, can I use bitbucket resources for my application as backend service? and if the answer is yes , please tell my how can I do this and also can I use bitbucket resources for free?

thanks in advance,

best regards.

Answer 1

If you want to host your own backend for testing, I'd suggest SCM Manager . It might not be as nearly as good as BitBucket, GitHub or Gitorious, but it's much, much , MUCH easier to install. Unless you need the more complex ALM features(like issue tracking or web GUI for code reviews) it should suffice your needs.

Answer 2

You can use BitBucket. It support both for Git and Mercurial repositories. The service offering includes an issue tracker and wiki, as well as integration with a number of popular third-party services.

The great thing of BitBucket, compared with GitHub, is that it's free and you can create as many private repos as you want.
