Use bitbucket as a private offsite code backup (edited)

README

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.

post-commit

#!/bin/sh

BRANCH=`git branch --no-color | grep '*' | tr -d \*\ ;`
# The mirror option will automatically push all branches (even ones not pushed to github)
# WARNING: haven't actually tested this so $BRANCH may not be necessary
git push --mirror bitbucket $BRANCH &>/dev/null
