Visual Studio 2013 and BitBucket
bitbucket, git, visual-studio, visual-studio-2013
Solution
John's statement that "you need Team Foundation Server" to work with BitBucket is not correct.
I just published a project to BitBucket from Visual Studio 2013 (preview version). Here's how.
- Add solution to Source Control
- Commit to local Git
- In the "Changes" area, click "Commits". This takes you to the dialog where you can publish to a Remote Repository.
- Enter the URL to your BitBucket repository (must already exist in BitBucket and must be empty) and click "Publish"
- Enter your BitBucket credentials when prompted. After the publish finishes you'll get a results message like this.
- Use the "Sync" button to update BitBucket with your local commits
Problem
Visual Studio 2013 apparently has some nice slick Git integration. However, after an hour of head-scratching with absolutely nothing making even the slightest bit of sense, I've only been able to create a local repository and despite cloning a remote bitbucket repository I simply cannot find a way to publish to my remote repository. I've used TFS, Subversion, Perforce and just about everything else, but this is completely baffling, with no instructions and a completely un-intuitive user interface. Any ideas anyone ?
