Create An Account And A Git Repo

Now, you get to use Bitbucket! On this page you'll create an account on Bitbucket. Once you have an account, you can create a repository. Here are some quick facts about accounts, repositories, and projects:

  • both the username and email on an account must be unique
  • each repository belongs to an account (sometimes called a username or user for short)
  • the person who created the account is the repository owner
  • the repository owner is the only person who can delete the repository
  • a user (an account) can have an unlimited number of public and private repositories
  • a code project can consist of multiple repositories across multiple accounts but can also be a single repository from a single account

Even if you only intend to work with other people's projects, knowing how to create a repository is useful. Creating a repository is free so there is no reason not to do it.
