How I stopped being afraid and fell in love with BitBucket

Let's look at how you can use the BitBucket service to save task code. “ Why?! ” you ask. “ Intellij IDEA has built-in access to GitHub! ” Two reasons. First : GitHub on a free account allows you to store only open projects, and the first rule of JavaRush is don’t tell anyone about JavaRush. Is it possible to give someone a solution to a problem? No, it is prohibited to provide a ready-made working solution to the problem. May lead to a ban on the site. Second : Mercurial vs git. But here, of course, it’s more convenient for anyone. Therefore, in a few simple steps, we will configure BitBucket to be used for our purposes (storing, and possibly forking code).

1. Register on BitBucket

   Note that you can also use your Google account!

2. Install the plugin to work with the repository:

   Go to IDEA/plugins settings and click “View plugin repositories”

   Search for “bitbucket” and install

   IDEA will ask you to reboot...

   Using the plugin you can manage the repository directly from IDEA

   To work correctly, you will need Mercurial installed on your system .

In Ubuntu this is simple: sudo apt-get install mercurial although I recommend first adding a ppa with the latest versions of mercurial-ppa : you sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mercurial-ppa/releases will need a public key for it: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 323293EE after that you can sudo apt-get install mercurial For Windows comrades, you will have to download the installer from the official website. After that, go to VCS/Import to version control/Share project (next to the inscription you will see a nice bucket). Let's launch! The plugin will ask you to log in to BitBucket (enter your username and password). After which you can create your repository directly from IDEA: Within a few minutes, IDEA will upload the project to BitBucket:
