Repositories for code

[smartmoney]

I'm building a web app to turn into a business. Just added another web developer to my team.
(https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/smartmoneys-beginnings.49515/)

With another developer, it makes sense to use an online repository. Seems like the big players are Github and Bitbucket.

Anyone have experience with either? Pros and Cons?
Bitbucket does give you private repositories for free and I definitely want a private repo, but I generally think free stuff can be worth what you paid.

Are you already familiar with Git and is that why you are asking about the above two?

I use Devzing (Subversion). I don't know what I pay because I only pay once per year but I think it is about $30. I get unlimited repos and I think more or less unlimited space.

I highly recommend them if you're not committed (no pun intended) to Git.

I've used Github in the past (maybe two years ago) and they were fine too.

I don't know, whether Github has the option to setup a private repository. If you want to use git and don't need all the other Github features you can take a look at setting up your own repo on your computer or some server on the internet. As far as I know with git every developer has his own local working copy and only some methods "synchronize" with the main repo. So maybe setting up your own repo can be worth a consideration.

Thanks @Felix II and @r6203 for the input.

Checking out Devzing .
I'm have used git here and there and am reasonably familiar with it, but not attached to it.

Just keep in mind that with subversion you're relying on a centralized version control system. So in case you want to revert or commit some changes without a connection to the server you're lost.

With Github you can get 5 private repos for $7 a month - not free but near enough.

I haven't used Bitbucket but I've used Github for personal projects and as part of a completely remote team of devs and it does the job. We deploy directly from Github using TeamCity to both stage and production environments - I wasn't part of setting it up but developing using this setup is painless - commit the code, TeamCity tests the build and deploys if it passes.

Again, not sure about Bitbucket but the popularity of Github means a lot of third-party integrations that can save you time and energy in not having to deal with manual deployment, manual testing, FTP, etc.

Milenko makes some good points about the benefits of Github having more 3rd-party tools & integrations available. That said, I used BitBucket for a couple of private repos, and it works just fine for basic version control. Not as fancy as Github, but you can't beat the price!

We host our own site at work with GitLab. Bitbucket seems like a well established service though.

I'm using SVN hosted at assembla.com when I signed up they let me have 3 users for free. Most places I found were 1 or 2.
