Use bitbucket as a private offsite code backup (edited)
Now that bitbucket supports git, it's easy to use their service as a free, private, offsite code backup. Just create an empty repo for your project on bitbucket, add it as a remote to your development repo:
username@host:~/project$ git remote add bitbucket [email protected]:username/project.git
Edit: I had to change in the config file the url value to set the complete https url: https://[email protected]/username/project.git
and use this post-commit hook to silently and automatically push your changes up after each commit.
#!/bin/sh
BRANCH=`git branch --no-color | grep '*' | tr -d \*\ ;`
git push bitbucket $BRANCH &>/dev/null
