For the latest version of Bitbucket (2016+), the download link can be found in the Download menu item.

Pre-2016

First method

In the Overview page of the repo, there is a link to download the project.

Direct download of a repo

Second method

Go to Downloads -> Branches -> Download the branch that you want (as .zip, .gz or .bz2). There you'll find download links for all tags. The links will be in the format:

https://bitbucket.org/owner/repository/get/v0.1.2.tar.gz

By tweaking it a little bit, you can also have access to any revision by changing the tag to the commit hash:

https://bitbucket.org/owner/repository/get/A0B1C2D.tar.gz

I was trying to figure out if it's possible to browse the code of an earlier commit like you can on GitHub and it brought me here. I used the information I found here, and after fiddling around with the urls, I actually found a way to browse code of old commits as well. Even though the question/answer is about downloading the code of an earlier commit, I thought I'd just add an answer for browsing the code also.

When you're browsing your code the URL is something like:

https://bitbucket.org/user/repo/src/

and by adding a commit hash at the end like this:

https://bitbucket.org/user/repo/src/a0328cb

You can browse the code at the point of that commit. I don't understand why there's no dropdown box for choosing a commit directly, the feature is already there. Strange.

In case you want to download the repo from your shell/terminal it should work like this:

wget https://user:[email protected]/user-name/repo-name/get/master.tar.bz2

or whatever download URL you might have.

Please make sure the user:password are both URL-encoded. So for instance if your username contains the @ symbol then replace it with %40.
