Answer 1

a) Bitbucket i: it is a web-based version control repository hosting service owned by Atlassian, for source code and development projects that use either Mercurial or Git revision control systems. Bitbucket offers both commercial plans and free accounts. It offers free accounts with an unlimited number of private repositories (which can have up to five users in the case of free accounts).

You can control access to your workspace's repositories by adding specific user groups or individual users. To create groups, go to Repository settings > User and group access. If a user deletes his or her account, Bitbucket automatically deletes that user from all repository access lists.

b.Sourcetree: it is a free Git desktop client for developers on Windows. Say goodbye to the command line and use the full capabilities of Git through Sourcetree’s beautifully simple interface.

c)On Mac go to the SourceTree menu and hit "Registration", from here you can login to your my.atlassian.comaccount and it'll automatically download your license file. The same applies to Windows, except the option is in File > Registration.

install SourceTree

• Download SourceTree from their website
• Click "Run" to start the installer
• Click "Next"
• Click "Next"
• Click "Install"
• When asked if you'd like to allow SourceTree to make changes to your computer, click "Yes"
• Click "Finish"
• Agree to the license agreement
• Choose whether or not you want to "Help improve SourceTree"
• Allow SourceTree to "Configure automatic line ending handling"
• Click "Continue"
• Click "Next"
• Click "Yes" when asked about a global ignore file. (This is a good practice, and will help keep your git repositories clean.)

I'm not going to add any accounts at this time. When we create accounts on BitBucket and GitHub, we'll come back and add them at that time. But for now, I'll click "Skip Setup".

• When asked to load an SSH key, click "No". We'll do that later.

Now, I'll click "File => Open", navigate to a git repo, and click "Select Folder", then click "OK". When I do that, you'll see it in the list.

When I select that list item, SourceTree shows information about the repo with buttons that I can use to perform actions like Commit, Checkout, Push and Pull. If I click the "Log/History" tab at the bottom, I'll see a visual representation of the repo history.

Since we're justing getting started with Git, a lot of this might not make sense to you. Don't worry, though, as we go through the series, we'll come back to SourceTree to help visualize what's going on in Git.

I'll be working in the Mac version of SourceTree, but the interfaces are similar enough that you should be able to follow along without any issues.

d) i) .Clone a repository from Bitbucket :

Method #1 - Directly through the SourceTree's Main UI

1. Click on the "Clone/New" button.

Method #2 - Through the Remote Repository (e.g. Bitbucket Cloud or Bitbucket Server)

1. Click "Clone in SourceTree".
2. SourceTree will open, and a URL Actions pop-up window should appear with the details of the repository you're cloning. Click "Clone" to proceed.
