Who else thinks bitbucket is better than github? And that even if its not, we should host a copy of repos on bitbucket too, because competition is good?
EDIT: (For git non-pro's like me)
How does one create a copy? After creating an empty repo on the web interface:
git remote add bitbucket <url of the repo>
How does one keep it updated?
git push bitbucket <branchname>
---------------------------------
Or if you'd like to always keep the bitbucket repo in sync every time you do a git push origin (preferred method):
`git remote set-url --add --push origin <url of the repo>`
I really like Bitbucket. I never had issues and I love the fact that I have access to free private repositories. That alone is the killer feature. I like Github, but I am not that much of a social developer therefore all their social aspect to me is not that important and the fact that I need to keep my repositories open or pay is actually a downside when the competition does exactly the same thing without this problems.
Define better though? Github is clearly more about the "community". You can explore and see trending repos and overall a much better experience of discovery. Bitbucket has a few nice features too, but it seems to be more geared for closed source/private teams.

Each service has it's pros/cons. Github charges you for private repositories while bitbucket offers them for free. But with bitbucket you are limited to only 5 collaborators - so it's not really useful for anything but personal repo hosting. I teach classes on occasion (obviously more than 5 students) and I pre-provision repos on my own source code hosting service but I also allow the students to get a free private repo from github (they are free if you say you are using it for a class).

It's very unlikely and rare that github would go down or be shutdown but due to google code shutting down I've learned that - it's not a good idea to keep your project (code) in a central location. You can mirror it - but if you aren't running the service yourself be ready to jump ship to either shutdown or changing of features. Github did remove downloads at one point but reintroduced them as releases.
More and more employers are (incorrectly) using github as a CV for developers. So I think github will be the primary source code hosting service for awhile until people realize that a user's github profile is not a proper CV.
GitLab CEO here, we're thinking about adding a mirroring feature to GitLab.com where every 15 minutes the repo will be synched. If there are only fast-forward changes these will be applied. Branches that can't be fast forwarded will trigger an error to be displayed in the interface. Would that help you keeping your repo updated?
Can anyone tell me, why GitHub doesn't have this feature yet?
Every time I need to browse through the code on GitHub, I need to download the project and open it in an IDE. Very lengthy process. On the other hand this approach looks novel.
Tried CodeSearch, but after installing it and clicking on it, it shows a form that says it will "be available soon for private repos" and asks for a bunch of information.
Tried the Graph plugin also -- after installing it and clicking on it, it shows a blank page.
The HipChat integration works well, but they've had that for some time now.

Couldn't agree more, and came here to say this also. I understand that they are driving forward with new features for developers, but security cannot be taken seriously enough when they are hosting organisation's private code. I cannot take them seriously until they add this feature.
I just don't get the reticence to implement it - I added 2FA to a customer facing app we produce in less than a week - and most of that time was coming up with a nice/pretty setup workflow to enable it on your account.
Not to be confused with Facebook Connect, Garmin Connect, Adobe Connect, TI Connect and hundreds of others either. There are two hard things in software development; cache invalidation and naming things.

It's a bit funny - some of these features github already has like code search and commit statistics. On bit bucket you have to pay for the plugin.
One thing I wish github had was bitbucket's commit list with the line graph. That's helpful.
