How do I make a releases, builds, and/or snapshots with BitBucket?

Question

I would like to be able to make releases and builds for my game.
I know GitHub has releases, but I am using BitBucket instead.

Does anyone know how to make releases with BitBucket as like a checkpoint so I can just have the files documented for every update?

I used a "tag" to achieve some way of marking a commit as being the HEAD of a certain release, considering everything "behind" it to be part of that release, if that makes sense? – Parry

Not really the point of your question but migrating from one git host to the next is easy as git remote add someName so://me:url && git push someName someBranchProbablyMaster ... Thought that was worth mentionning ... – Garibull

Answer 1

2022: BCLOUD-11404 shows this is still not implemented

---

2015: As I mentioned before, BitBucket doesn't support the GitHub-like release feature. Its FAQ still mention:

For binary or executable storage, we recommend you look into file hosting services such as DropBox, rsync, rsnapshot, rdiff-backup, and so forth. Still not sure what to do? Review this post on stackoverflow for more ideas.

For a BitBucket repo, you still have a soft limit to 1GB and an hard limit to 2GB.

Do you know another git services with this feature? – Leonilaleonine

I've been hoping Bitbucket would improve with the Atlassian acquisition. But.. GitHub has been much more enjoyable in my experience. – Gabey

@TJOlsen Yes, GitHub has benefited from Microsoft more, and is backed by Azure (See GitHub Actions) – Newtonnext

why does ANYONE use bitbucket, it is literal garbage. lets remove ALL the features that github has shall we ;) – Radiotelegram

@Radiotelegram Only good reason I know so gar: Bitbucket can be installed on your own local server which is extremely important for companies handling sensible software. – Sontag

@Sontag Alas Bitbucket is "moving to the cloud", which is where software goes to die. – Handshake

Answer 2

BitBucket Pipelines allows automatic builds and the output can be pushed to BitBucket Downloads.

Answer 3

Old question, but this seems to be somewhat resolved now (by 2022).

In the web interface for the repository, there is a left-hand side menu. Towards the bottom of the list, there is an option 'Downloads'. From there, on the initial tab, there is a button 'Add Files', which you can add zips, exes, etc.

Not quite the same, but good enough for me.

Had to give you credit for this response. Though, downloads has always been there. – Lambrecht

Answer 4

I have created a directory "releases" in my repository. In this directory I store my "tar.gz" files using Git LFS.
