It’s been amazing to watch all of the projects being added to Bitbucket since modifying our pricing plan in late September. The growth of your public and private repositories even has us looking to expand our diskspace sooner than we original planned!
With all of this growth, we’ve noticed that it’s sometimes difficult to sift through all the awesome projects that have been added to Bitbucket. To help you discover popular, existing and trending repositories we’ve added new filtering options to the repository explorer.
The new controls allow you to filter repositories by date (weekly, monthly, all time) and activity (commits, followers or forks).
Also this week, while doing some basic gardening of the APIs (bug fixes) we added a new feature that allows you to manage the access control list of your public and private repositories. Using the new API, you can add, modify or remove a user’s read, write or admin access to a repository.
If there are other REST APIs you’d like added to Bitbucket, please let us know.
Until next week, here’s the full list of changes this week:
