Google has decided to shut down its service for storing Google Code. If you still haven't migrated your projects to other services, then it's time to do it. We present to your attention several alternative services.
GitHub is the undisputed leader in this space and probably the most famous web service for storing code. For ordinary users, the services of this service are absolutely free. If you want premium features or want to organize a developer portfolio, there are paid plans starting at $ 7 per month. However, nothing prevents you from organizing your portfolio on a free plan.
GitHub allows you to post code, communicate with each other, comment on edits in the code. It is also possible to work together on projects or merge several repositories. Google Code proposes to move your code exactly and even posted on the transfer of their projects to GitHub.
CodePlex, like GitHub, hosts open source projects. It is not as popular as GitHub, but nevertheless there are over 30,000 projects on this web service. Supports version control based on Team Foundation Server. Which is quite logical, because both the web service and TFS were born thanks to the efforts of developers from Microsoft. There is also a wiki page, a forum, and RSS support. Fun fact is that Microsoft has moved the development process of the Roslyn platform from CodePlex to GitHub.
Bitbucket is another very popular huge hosting for your projects. Probably because of its popularity, Google also posted with Google Code for this service as well.
Unlike GitHub, Bitbucket has very affordable pricing plans if you're not using it as a team. You can have an unlimited number of private repositories, and on Github you have to pay even for one. But if you have more than five people on your team, you have to pay at least $ 10. If you are using the Jira bug tracking system, then Bitbucket is the direct route for you. After all, these two services have one developer.
Launchpad is a whole platform that allows the development team to collaborate on projects. Launchpad consists of the following parts:
- Code - intended for storing source code (Bazaar version control system).
- Bugs - a component designed to track errors, as you might guess from the name.
- Blueprints - a system for creating specifications.
- Translations - online editor for localizations.
- Answers - a system for creating a knowledge base and lists of frequently asked questions.
This service is most likely suitable for those who develop software for Linux, although no one forbids you to use it to develop projects for other operating systems.
Other
SourceForge could also be noted among the main players in the code hosting market, but recently this service has turned into a dump where it is very easy to catch a virus. But nevertheless, Google has posted for this service as well. There is also from the service itself.
Output
If you've posted your code on Google Code so far, then you'll have to make a choice. I would advise choosing between GitHub and Bitbucket. Unlike the rest of the services, these two are really popular, and there is no risk that one of these services will unexpectedly shut down. Study the tariff plans of these services and choose the one that suits your working conditions.
