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? – EM-Creations Dec 04 '17 at 12:55
  • 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 ... – Ar3s Oct 23 '20 at 00:14

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? – kostyabakay Jan 20 '17 at 15:48

    I've been hoping Bitbucket would improve with the Atlassian acquisition. But.. GitHub has been much more enjoyable in my experience. – TJ Olsen Oct 05 '20 at 02:03
  • @TJOlsen Yes, GitHub has benefited from Microsoft more, and is backed by Azure (See GitHub Actions) – VonC Oct 05 '20 at 06:26

    why does ANYONE use bitbucket, it is literal garbage. lets remove ALL the features that github has shall we ;) – jenkizenki Aug 03 '21 at 18:57
  • @jenkizenki 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. – JE_Muc May 09 '22 at 14:57
  • @JE_Muc Alas Bitbucket is "moving to the cloud", which is where software goes to die. – Graham Leggett Jan 02 '23 at 16:18

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

BitBucket Pipelines to BitBucket Downloads

Hope this helps.

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

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.
