Wikis
When you add a repository to Bitbucket Cloud, you also get a wiki. The wiki is a simple place to keep documents. Some people use it as their project home page. The wiki is a Git repository, so you can clone it and edit it like any other source files For example, take a look at the TortoiseHg wiki on Bitbucket Cloud.
