Mercurial Bitbucketize Extension
Project description
Publish your next repo to bitbucket without clicking through the web interface. Also switch it easily from private to public (or back), set description, enable or disable wiki and issue tracker…
1 Synopsis
In simplest configuration extension works just as generic BitBucket client:
hg bitbucket_create acme-toolkit --wiki --private --forks=private hg bitbucket_modify acme-toolkit --public -m "THE toolkit above all toolkits" hg bitbucket_status acme-toolkit hg bitbucket_delete acme-toolkit hg bitbucket_goto acme-toolkit
Those commands operate on https://bitbucket.org/«USER»/acme-toolkit where «USER» is your BitBucket username (configured in extension configuration).
Paired with Path Pattern it can also deduce appropriate name for the current repository:
# Create private bitbucket clone of current repo hg bitbucket_create # ... or maybe public one hg bitbucket_create --issues --public -l python -m "Webapp for nowhere.com" hg bitbucket_status hg bitbucket_modify --language=perl hg bitbucket_goto --issues hg bitbucket_delete
To save typing, all commands have shorter aliases (hg bb_create, hg bb_status, etc).
2 Enabling and configuring the extension
Install the extension as described below (see Installation section). Then enable it and configure a few crucial parameters by writing in ~/.hgrc:
[extensions] mercurial_bitbucketize = [bitbucketize] user = John login = johny@gmail.com path_alias = bitbucket
Here: user is your short BitBucket username (the name present in URLs of your repositories) and login is your Atlassian login (the username you enter while performing browser login),
The path_alias is optional and means, that in case such alias (here: bitbucket) is defined for current repository, it can be used to deduce the name of BitBucket repository to operate on. That works great if you install and enable Path Pattern and define appropriate pattern, for example:
[extensions]
mercurial_bitbucketize =
mercurial_path_pattern =
[bitbucketize]
user = John
login = johny@gmail.com
path_alias = bitbucket
[path_pattern]
bitbucket.local = ~/devel/{below}
bitbucket.remote = https://bitbucket.org/John/{below:/=-}
(with such settings bitbucketize will know that ~/devel/libs/acme should be paired with https://bitbucket.org/John/libs-acme on BitBucket).
It is also strongly recommended that you install Keyring to avoid being repeatably prompted for BitBucket password (bitbucketize happily uses Keyring to save password in secure storage).
3 Commands
Standard help is available for all commands (hg help bitbucket_create, etc), check it out for detailed list of all options.
All commands have shorter aliases prefixed with bb_ (instead of hg bitbucket_modify you can type hg bb_modify).
3.1 Creating BitBucket repository (hg bitbucket_create)
Creates new repository on BitBucket. You can give the name:
hg bitbucket_create tinyapps-acme
(then the command is context-less) or rely on deduction:
hg bitbucket_create
(the latter depends on proper path_alias configuration).
By default repository is private, has no wiki, no issue tracker, and no description. Some of those can be specified, for example:
hg bb_create --wiki --issues --descr="My repo" --public
The bitbucket_create command does not push the code (created repository is empty). This is done on purpose, to let you verify the name and settings before you push.
3.2 Toggling repository features (hg bitbucket_modify)
Use bitbucket_modify command to modify repository features.
It can be used to switch it to public:
hg bitbucket_modify --public
or back to private:
hg bitbucket_modify --private
and correct metadata:
hg bitbucket_modify --lang=Perl --descr="TIMTOWTDI"
Examples above operated on deduced repository. Of course specifying the name is also possible:
hg bitbucket_modify tinylibs-acme --public --wiki
Similarly toggle wiki and issues:
hg bitbucket_modify --wiki hg bitbucket_modify --no-wiki hg bitbucket_modify --issues hg bitbucket_modify --no-issues
3.3 Checking repository status (hg bitbucket_status)
Use bitbucket_status command to check whether repository exists, and print it’s metadata:
hg bitbucket_status
or:
hg bitbucket_status tinylibs-acme
3.4 Deleting the BitBucket clone (hg bitbucket_delete)
Use bitbucket_delete to remove BitBucket clone:
hg bitbucket_delete
or, to delete repository with specific name:
hg bitbucket_delete acme
3.5 Visiting BitBucket web pages (hg bitbucket_goto)
Simple shortcut to open respository related web pages on BitBucket.
To visit overview:
hg bitbucket_goto tinylibs-acme
or (with name deduction):
hg bb_goto
To visit specific page:
hg bitbucket_goto tinylibs-acme --issues
or (with name deduction):
hg bb_goto -l
(see hg help bb_goto for list of all pages supported).
Default system browser is used (established according to various system-specific conventions). If that guess is incorrect, it can be configured in .hgrc. Either by something like:
[browser] type = firefox
where type is one of webbrowser supported values (firefox, chrome, safari, opera, konqueror, …) or:
[browser] command = /usr/bin/firefox
(the former is slightly preferable as it can give browser incentive to raise the window).
4 Installation
4.1 Linux/Unix
4.1.1 Installing from PyPi
To install for the first time, just:
pip install --user mercurial_bitbucketize
This should install both the extension itself, and all it’s dependencies. Of course other methods of installing Python packages work too (like sudo easy_install mercurial_bitbucketize).
Activate by writing in ~/.hgrc:
[extensions] mercurial_bitbucketize =
To upgrade:
pip install --upgrade --user mercurial_bitbucketize
As I already said, it is strongly recommended that you install also Keyring and Path Pattern.
4.1.2 Installing for development
Clone the extension itself, and it’s dependencies (PyBitBucket and mercurial_extension_utils):
hg clone git+https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/python-bitbucket.git # Or git clone https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/python-bitbucket.git hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurial-extension_utils hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurial-bitbucketize
Update to newest tags if you prefer to work on stable versions.
Install them for development (dependencies first):
pip install --user --edit python-bitbucket pip install --user --edit mercurial-extension_utils pip install --user --edit mercurial-bitbucketize
Activate as usual:
[extensions] mercurial_bitbucketize =
To upgrade just pull changes and update in appropriate repositories.
4.2 Windows
If you have Python installed, install necessary modules with pip, just like on Linux:
pip install --user mercurial_bitbucketize
As Mercurial (whether taken from TortoiseHg, or own package) uses it’s own bundled Python, you must activate by specifying the path:
[extensions] mercurial_bitbucketize = C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/mercurial_bitbucketize.py ;; Or wherever pip installed it
Extension will take care of finding necessary modules.
If you don’t have Python, you may try the method described above in Installing for development, but I suspect you will face missing dependencies. So preferably install Python.

Thanks to Octobus and Clever Cloud for hosting this service.
8 Known problems
Value error on repository creation
If hg bitbucket_create ends with:
ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required
you observe effect of recurring bug in pybitbucket.
Upgrading pybitbucket to version 0.6.1 or newer should resolve the problem.
If this is not feasible at the moment, you can also ignore the error (failure happens after repository was created, it’s only consequence is that you do not see the confirmation message). Use hg bitbucket_details to check whether repository state is correct.
