AWS CodeCommit vs Bitbucket vs GitHub: What are the differences?
AWS CodeCommit is a cloud-based repository management system for storing and management of assets. The assets can be source code, binary files, and documents. Offers full compatibility to Git as well, allowing you to move your local repositories to cloud-based repositories in CodeCommit. Bitbucket allows integrations with different sources. A web-based version-control-repository hosting service owned by Atlassian, Bitbucket is used extensively for source code and development projects that use either Mercurial or Git revision control systems. Github is now an industry as well as a coding norm. Easy to use, intuitive, accessible, with the simplest of user interfaces. Almost every open source system uses Git these days.
I first used BitBucket because it had private repo's, and it didn't disappoint me. Also with the smooth integration of Jira, the decision to use BitBucket as a full application maintenance service was as easy as 1, 2, 3.
I honestly love BitBucket, by the looks, by the UI, and the smooth integration with Tower.
Do you review your Pull/Merge Request before assigning Reviewers?
If you work in a team opening a Pull Request (or Merge Request) looks appropriate. However, have you ever thought about opening a Pull/Merge Request when working by yourself? Here's a checklist of things you can review in your own:
- Pick the correct target branch
- Make Drafts explicit
- Name things properly
- Ask help for tools
- Remove the noise
- Fetch necessary data
- Understand Mergeability
- Pass the message
- Add screenshots
- Be found in the future
- Comment inline in your changes
Read the blog post for more detailed explanation for each item :D
What else do you review before asking for code review?
Using an inclusive language is crucial for fostering a diverse culture. Git has changed the naming conventions to be more language-inclusive, and so you should change. Our development tools, like GitHub and GitLab, already supports the change.
SourceLevel deals very nicely with repositories that changed the master branch to a more appropriate word. Besides, you can use the grep linter the look for exclusive terms contained in the source code.
As the inclusive language gap may happen in other aspects of our lives, have you already thought about them?
