If I'm using bitbucket.org does that mean I don't need to know how to use git?

BitBucket is source code hosting platform. You must know git or hg to be able to push or send your code over to BitBucket.

BitBucket is source code hosting platform. You must know git or hg to be able to push or send your code over to BitBucket. In essence, BitBucket acts as a remote origin for your local git/hg repository.It's a lot more powerful than just dumping your code.

For example, other people can fork your repository by just clicking a button. They can view the entire commit history and all your branches.

1 "remote origin" is git-specific slang. Try to avoid it in common questions – Lazy Badger Oct 14 '11 at 8:05 1 @LazyBadger = The question is tagged git ( the BB tag was actually added by me) This is not a common question. – manojlds Oct 14 '11 at 14:00 1 "BitBucket acts as a remote origin for your local git/hg repository" - hg mentioned, there it isn't aplicable – Lazy Badger Oct 14 '11 at 14:55.

BitBucket can be thought to be the server hosting your repo - be it hg or git. You need to know atleast some basics of Git, like clone, push etc. To work with it. You can work with command line or GUI like TortoiseGit, and host it on BitBucket, that is a parallel question, but you must know about git.

2 need know git in order to work with BB?! It's fud. Everybody can use BB in pure mercurial mode and know *nothing about git – Lazy Badger Oct 14 '11 at 8:07 1 @LazyBadger - What are you talking about?

The OP asks about git and BB. – manojlds Oct 14 '11 at 14:00 well, question was not transparent on our interpretation. I know - BB can server both hg and git, it is possible to use BB without git... thus - I hated your statement, which I read as I read – Lazy Badger Oct 14 '11 at 15:00.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
