Use of Bitbucket in courses at NTNU

The following courses in NTNU are currently using/are planning to start using the Bitbucket solution:

Licensing

The "host your own server" version is free for qualified open source projects, nonprofits, and classrooms. You will then have to administrate the server your self off course (updates, backups, setting up users etc.)

...

"When you sign up with your academic email address, we will automatically convert your account to an unlimited academic plan. If your account doesn't automatically get converted, you can apply to have your institution added."

< Q: Simon J R McCallum - are NTNU - addresses already registered under the academic plan at Bitbucket? >Students should sign up with their ntnu email address.  If you want smart commits between JIRA and Bitbucket the email needs to be the same as it uses email as an identifier.

How to use Bitbucket in courses

To uses Bitbucket in courses where students either work individually, or in teams, to set up repositories for each student/student team, do the following:

...

< Q: Simon J R McCallum - do you have any suggestions to how to manage all the repositories created for a given course in a practical way? Using Teams? Other mechanisms ?>

  • We currently use a naming convention for the bachelor projects to add the date in the front. We also have a few teams to make it easier to add students and have just started using the new Projects system

< Q: Øivind Kolloen - On the gathering in Trondheim 3rd of May you mentioned that you used Forking of repository when using Bitbucket in student projects. Can you write a few lines describing how you use this, and why?>    

  • When I set up the repository as a private repository and only allow private forks then I can be sure that the repositories forked from this repository remains private. This prevents the students to access each others repositories and to copy code from each other (at least from the repos.) Furthermore, since now all projects are forks of my initial project I have easy access to them through the list of forks in the original repository.
  • If you run the course for multiple years then it is a good idea to create a new repository as the old forks from the previous year will still be on the fork list.

Git information tools

We are using gitinspector to assess some of the usage of the repositories.  We will be producing a tech paper on the use of the tool in exams and courses in 2017
