Google to close Google Code open source project hosting

"Google Code is to join the long list of Google projects that have been consigned to the dustbin of history. The open source project hosting service will no longer be accepting new project submissionsas of today, will no longer be accepting updates to existing projects from August 24, and will be closed entirely on January 25, 2016." -- source: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/google-to-close-google... Well, there goes another free service... Now I have to move my remaining projects over to github. Grr...

There’s always SourceForge...
I'm using sf.net at the moment for some projects, however, I liked google code better for small projects. The tools (source, wiki, issues) simply came across as better integrated.

Another possiblity is Bitbucket. They started out as Mercurial-only, but I believe they support Git now.

Using that as well. ;-) The nice thing about bitbucket is that they offer a small number of "private" repos even with a free account. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

I tried to use BitBucket, but I found the BitBucket plugin for PyCharm didn't work for me very well. That's when I moved to Github wholesale :) Eric -------------------------------------------- Q: Why is this email five sentences or less?

Hmm... I just use the standard "git" plugin and that works fine. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
