BitBucket - download source as ZIP

I know I can get the project through git clone command, but is there any way, how to download the project through the web interface from BitBucket.org? In the best way, I am looking for a way to download a project source as ZIP compress file.

Solution

  • For the latest version of Bitbucket (2016+), the download link can be found in the Download menu item.

    Pre-2016

    First method

    In the Overview page of the repo, there is a link to download the project.

    Direct download of a repo

    Second method

    Go to Downloads -> Branches -> Download the branch that you want (as .zip, .gz or .bz2). There you'll find download links for all tags. The links will be in the format:

    https://bitbucket.org/owner/repository/get/v0.1.2.tar.gz

    By tweaking it a little bit, you can also have access to any revision by changing the tag to the commit hash:
