Interesting that they're going this way. We used Google's source repository functionality for a while because there is no real choice if you want to use Google Cloud Builder, which we were testing out for cloud-based Docker builds. GCB was pretty disappointing, and we moved off it. We also found the source repository service annoying. GCB can't pull code from Github, so you first have to set up a Google source repo a…

Cloud Source Repositories PM here. I appreciate your feedback and will share it with the team. >it was impossible to tell what the status of the sync was; all you could do was go into the UI and see that it was not up to date; no way to force a sync. We've heard this was a problem for users so we're adding the ability to force a sync and to view the current sync status. These features will be live in the next few wee…

Hi there, looking to move away from another hosting provider. I think what GSR really needs for that to happen is the PR feature, along with integration with Cloud Build at point of PR.

I am intrigued by the level of sophistication this Google's private git offers. But I'm not probably in their intended audience as I'm not interested in providing my full personal and credit card information just to use git... I am probably just too ingrained in GitHub and AWS to even consider other options. But I'm curious, still. Is it ... good? I hope somebody is going to share their experience with me.

Google Cloud is worth checking out. CSR is just one of their offerings in the GCP ecosystem.

Xoogler here. Internally as Google, you have a substantially power powerful version of Codesearch, which is semantic, i.e. it relies on actual binary artifacts produced by builds to index code. All of the code base uses Blaze ( open sourced as Bazel) to express the rules. The version of code search here is cute, but it's still not a full blown structured semantic code search, which I really miss. Searching for and br…

It's honestly one of the greatest advantages of working in google3. GitHub search is honestly pitiful next to it.

tl;dr: this isn't replacing github, it's solving a more specific problem I think everyone here is missing the point. The purpose here seems to be similar to github actions in providing workflows around repository events (though also including some basic ability to view the code as well). Having a clean way to cut a release that updates app servers on app engine and serverless functions in tandem is needed right now.…

I'm not claiming they're the only ones (I called out github's offering explicitly). I'm just explaining why this exists because a lot of people in this thread seem to think it's a github replacement.

I disagree that CSR serves the same purpose as code.google.com, and is likely to meet a similar end. code.google.com hosted public repos, issues, wiki, downloads, etc., and was generally just ripe for abuse. Google created it largely because Sourceforge was the only thing that existed at the time, and it wasn't doing a great job. Today there's GitHub, Bitbucket, Gitlab, and more. CSR is primarily for hosting private…

Proper code search could be a pretty killer feature on its own. Half the time I need to find something on github I just clone the repo and search from my own computer.

Try https://sourcegraph.com/

You can use their public search UI or install the extension.

I was responding to the "needed right now" part in your first comment. Unless I'm misunderstanding, do you think it's not covered by the other CI/CD providers?

I find the pricing of this service to be incomprehensible, as well as contradictory to “Unlimited private Git repositories for free”. Can anyone explain it?

> I find the pricing of this service to be incomprehensible, as well as contradictory to “Unlimited private Git repositories for free”.

You get unlimited private repositories, 5 project users, 50 GB of storage, and 50 GB egress per monthly for free.

Monthly overage charges beyond the free quota are $1 per project-user, $0.10 per GB of storage, and $0.10 per GB of egress.

So for 10 project-users, 100 GB of storage, and 200 GB of egress in a month, you pay $5 for users, $5 for storage, and $10 for egress, for a total of $20.

I don't mean to imply that other products are inferior. A problem can simultaneously exist and have solutions.

I still don’t get it. What is a “project” and how does it differ from a “repo”? If they are the same thing, isn’t every project/repo going to cost at least a $1?
