Bitbucket FTW! (Sorry about that, Github also rules, but I prefer BitBucket for personal projects.)

I've created a new thread about this topic only. (if some operator can move there the last posts, it's better)

You know, it doesn't matter so much. You can select Bitbucket. Or Github. Nobody will contribute in either case. Other developers may agree with me. Or not.

Being this asked I deduced that somebody was interested in development :P If not, I can just keep it on my pc and develop it alone, with no problems at all

twobob · 10-31-2013, 02:29 PM

pftt ignore the naysayer.

He always says that.

AcidWeb · 10-31-2013, 02:33 PM

GitHub.

Personally I dislike Bitbucket look & feel.

Or if there is need for safe heaven only for Kindle mages - Instance of GitLab.

Github. Can I vote twice?

Version control is useful anyway, even if you're developing you project alone. In this case, Github or Bitbucket is just a public backup of your personal repository. If development will stall or you will lose interest in development (it happens), someone will be able to take this backup and continue development history. And if you'll continue development infinitely, public repository will serve as entry point to contributing (though it never happens

) with well-known and convenient workflow (opposing to attachment hell).

To the topic: did I ever recommend something inherently wrong?
