Which to pick

auto-draft
Pick GitHub if your team lives in pull requests and wants the AI to handle everything from issue triage to Actions workflow debugging. The 50-tool surface means your Space can read commit history, manage branches, trigger CI runs, and parse code review threads without leaving the chat. Pick Bitbucket if you're locked into Atlassian's ecosystem—Jira integration is tighter, and if your org already runs Confluence and Bamboo, you avoid auth sprawl. The 17-tool count covers repository basics but won't let the AI dig as deep into automation or project boards. For most teams starting fresh, GitHub's the safer bet—more tools means fewer "sorry, I can't do that" moments when you ask the AI to close stale PRs or fetch contributor stats. Switching from Bitbucket to GitHub after you've wired pipelines and branch policies into your Space costs about a week of re-mapping webhooks and rewriting any custom scripts that hit the API directly.
