What about bitbucket?

I see references to lab and hub, is bitbucket missing?

Bitbucket support is there. But it's not feature complete, and not up to my standards…

The issue I have is that I got to implement OAuth2 for bitbucket, because the privatekey scheme offered by bitbucket does not work for a CLI tool use case. So currently, the credentials (login/password) of bitbucket are stored in CLEAR in the configuration file, which really, really sucks…

And some new features (like the snippets) are not implemented in third part python libraries, because most of the libs are old and unmaintained.

Anyway, following some discussions I had with atlassian bitbucket developers, bitbucket (like gitlab) is planning to switch to swagger, which will help automagical generation of client-side feature complete libraries. So I'm planning to level bitbucket feature set as soon as they land the new API.

So I hope it won't be long before all the features will land for the three services!

It looks like there is currently partial bitbucket support according to the TODO and HN title
