Where the programmer to store the code after the closing of Google Code

Google has decided to close its storage service Google Code code. If you still have not moved their projects to other services, it's time to do it. We present to your attention a number of alternative services.

GitHub - the undisputed leader in this field and is probably best known for storing code web service. Service of this service are free of charge for ordinary users. If you need the premium features or you want to organize a portfolio developer has paid tariff plans ranging from $ 7 per month. However, nothing prevents you to organize the portfolio and on the free plan.

GitHub allows you to place the code to communicate with each other, to comment on the changes in the code. It is also possible, and collaborate on projects or merge multiple repositories. Google Code offers to move your code exactly this service and even posted English-language instruction to migrate their projects on GitHub.

CodePlex, like GitHub, is hosting for open source projects. It is not as popular as GitHub, but still more than 30 000 projects in this web service there. Supports version control, based on Team Foundation Server. Which makes sense, after all, a web service and TFS were born thanks to the efforts of developers from Microsoft. There is also a wiki-pages, forum and support RSS. Fun fact is that Microsoft has suffered a process of Roslyn development platform from CodePlex at GitHub.

Bitbucket - is another very popular great hosting for your projects. It was probably due to its popularity, Google also posted how to transfer your projects a Google Code, and for this service.

Unlike GitHub, Bitbucket at very affordable tariff plans, if you use it not as a team. You can have an unlimited number of private repositories, and Github even for one you have to pay. But if you have more than five people in the team will have to pay at least 10 dollars. If you use a bug tracking system Jira, then you direct way is to Bitbucket. After all, these two services, one developer.

Launchpad - a complete platform that allows the development team to work together on projects. Launchpad consists of the following components:

• Code - is designed to store the source code (version control system Bazaar).
• Bugs - component for tracking bugs, as you may guess from the name.
• Blueprints - a system for the creation of specifications.
• Translations - on-line editor locations.
• Answers - a system of knowledge base and list of frequently asked questions.

This service is most likely suitable for those who develop software for Linux, although no one will prohibit use it to develop projects for other operating systems.

other

Among the major players in code hosting could be noted even at SourceForge, but in recent years the service has become a dumping ground, where is very easy to catch the virus. Nevertheless, Google posted Upgrade instructions and for this service. there is instruction and from the service.

Output

If you are still placed its code on Google Code, then you will have to make a choice. I would advise to choose between GitHub and Bitbucket. Unlike other services, this couple really popular, and there is the risk that one of these services will be closed unexpectedly. Learn the tariff plans of the service and choose the appropriate to your operating conditions.
