Bitbucket Administration Training — Data Center, Cloud Migration & Enterprise Git Management

What Is Bitbucket Administration?

Bitbucket is Atlassian's Git repository management platform, available as Bitbucket Cloud (SaaS) and Bitbucket Data Center (self-managed, formerly Bitbucket Server/Stash). Bitbucket administration involves managing projects, repositories, user permissions, branch restrictions, pull request workflows, and integration with the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Bamboo, Confluence). With Atlassian's end-of-life for Bitbucket Server, many organizations are actively migrating to Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Data Center, or GitHub Enterprise.
