Description
Note: Bitbucket Server (aka Stash) was decommissioned in May, 2019. Repositories were migrated to GitLab Academic.
Software development teams use web-based platforms to help them manage version control. While there are free, open-source services available, UI’s professionally-hosted and managed services are more secure, and allow users to authenticate with their HawkID.
