Ask HN: good place to store code online?

#1
what is the best place to store code online? i want to have a backup of my files somewhere in case something happens and an emailadress is just annoying for this kind of thing.

i could use google doc to save the soource code but i just want to be able to store it as a .py-file or .scm-file and download directly later.

mozy seem to cost even for the smallest storage? xdrive has 5GB free though.

any tips? should obv support any fileformat.

For all of my projects, I have an assembla account (http://www.assembla.com) with SVN access. I don't know the privacy/crypto details, so if you're storing private/sensitive data I can't help you with any details there - I'm doing open source stuff and couldn't care less who sees my code. Your situation might be different!

Until a few months ago, we hosted our svn repository on berlios.de . It went down every few weeks, so I don't recommend them. We started using them when sourceforge only had cvs. Nowadays sf.net supports svn, so you might look into that.

Somewhat recently, we switched to git and started hosting ourselves, but you might look into code.google.com .

If you don't actually want your code to be public, just get some free online storage. Do you really need more than 5GB?
