I use to work with Bitbucket in personal / private apps and GitHub for public ones or to contribute in 3rd codes.. They are both good in my opinion.

GitHub for open source projects and Gitlab for private projects. Though I am on a premium plan on GitHub, so lately I find myself using GitHub also for private projects.

I prefer BitBucket or GitLab because of the free private repositories.

I'd even go with Visual Studio Team Services over GitHub because of the free private repositories, though GitHub can't be beat as a hub for open source repositories.

I love Github for 2 reasons.

1. It's open for other contributors and even non-contributor can see the code as everything is public on Github for FREE account.
2. I love Jekyll. However it can be configured on Bitbucket, I personally more comfortable with Github Pages :)

Thanks.

GitLab, the new UI is really nice too.

I'm an Atlassian fanboy. I've used Bitbucket from the beginning since it was the only place you didn't have to pay for a private repo before Gitlab came along a few years later.

I now use GitHub more often, since public repos are the key to getting packages for the Go programming language, and it has a super-nice way of organizing your library of anything you go get.

However, I use Bitbucket and Bitbucket Server on almost every project, whether or not GitHub is thrown into the mix - by taking .git/config, and adding [backup] (sometimes [public] ) and [all] .

Then, I'll git push all master and git fetch all to keep each of them up to date and listing them all with git branch -av.

Gitlab.

Use Github for public and Gitlab for private.

Bitbucket for free private repos (awesome for pre-alpha or just sensitive stuff), Github for everything else.

Personally prefer Github.

I use both. But GitHub is more comfortable for me than Bitbucket.
