Bitbucket Project structure

Jozef Vandenmooter

We are migrating a ton of projects from Subversion into Bitbucket and the client wants to maintain the directory structure in BB. They are surprised they will be forced into a "flattened" Project -> Repo -> <Directories inside repo> structure.

Does BB allow for creating Project "hierarchies"?

For example, they would like to see the following SVN project

/Lego/Libraries/NetworkDeviceLibrary/DeviceDescriptionFiles

/Lego/Libraries/NetworkDeviceLibrary/DeviceAutomationFiles

to be represented in BB as

Project Lego

Sub-project Libraries

Sub-Sub-project NetworkDeviceLibrary

Repo DeviceDescriptionFiles

Repo DeviceAutomationFiles

Is there a plugin that allows setting up Project hierarchies?

Hello Jozef,

Congratulations on making the move over to Bitbucket. The issue with the file/folder structure that you mention has more to do with Git then it does with Bitbucket itself. Since Bitbucket sits on top of Git, you will need to make the adjustment within the Git path itself. I would like to explain further how to accomplish this, but I found a StackOverflow post which has an excellent answer on multiple options to do this. You may find this post at How can I make a hierarchy of repositories with Git ?

I hope this post proves helpful and provides some guidance in accomplishing your goals.

Regards,
Stephen Sifers

Stephen,

Thanks for the response. I had come to the same conclusion: this has indeed nothing to do with Bitbucket. Actually, BB improves on the situation since it allows organizing Git repos into Projects.

However, that ability is not very useful as long as we can't add the same git repos (created to represent Subversion externals) to mulitple projects (https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/12256/allow-repositories-to-be-in-multiple)

It sounds like he doesn't want a file/folder hierarchy, but a repository dependency hierarchy. I've seen something like this in gitlab with submodules. submodules are a git feature, not a gitlab feature, so they are supported in Bitbucket. See https://www.atlassian.com/blog/archives/git-submodules , perhaps.

Thanks Adam. That's exactly what I ended up doing :P
