What is the use of the "Repository" dropdown in Bitucket


The highlighted dropdown selections only show the current repo. Is there a setting to have it show the other repo's in the project? Would be nice to be able to use Bitbucket to compare commits and branches across different repo's.

Solution

  • That repository dropdown is for comparing forks, based on their common commit history. If you don't use forking, then that particular dropdown is a bit useless, but you can still compare branches, tags, or commits within a repo.
