So does the backend use Java Git, or some specialized version of C git?
Why only those two alternatives?
They are most likely, but I suppose anything is possible.

In Github's case, most of the projects there are libraries and the users are developers. The people who like Github probably expect the first thing they see when they show up to a project to be the code. And I'd wager that for many developers, checking out the repo is quicker and more convenient than downloading a tarball. Github's UI admittedly doesn't make for a great experience for someone browsing around looking…
When looking out for libraries I need to have answers to the following questions: 1. Is the library stable/complete? 2. Is the API stable? 3. If not, how frequently/how much does it change? With a decent project page, I can have these questions answered either directly or by looking at the available downloads history (even if they are source-only downloads) and version numbers. With github projects I frequently can't…
1. Look at the README.
2&3. Semver.
Number of followers/watchers is usually a good indication of how well-liked a project is. And as with any other open-source software, without sniffing in the code a little bit you never know what you're getting, regardless of how good the docs are or how sleek the project hosting pages are.
I like how most bigger projects are doing it nowadays: a separate page/mini-website, often using GitHub pages, that is user-centric and usually has a direct download link, and then GitHub for fellow developers.

#63Google Code's UI needs a lot of work. I just created a test project to try our git functionality. I closed my browser and went to a meeting. After an hour or so I come back, open my browser, and type in code.google.com. I get a nice page but no links to "my projects" or the like. After searching through links on the page I finally had to give up and had to type in the project URL ( http://code.google.com/p/myproject…
> Google Code's UI needs a lot of work.
I disagree. I think it's a nice, simple, tidy interface in contrast to github's flashy one.

Re: Code.Google.com now supports git
#66That's great, but I'm still slowly moving my projects over to Github. 1. I get much more engagement from random developers on Github. On Github, random people will fork and add features, do code reviews and leave comments. All of these things are technically possible on Google Code but nobody does it—probably due to the usability but possibly also a cultural problem. Github has a strong culture of collaboration becau…
(Speaking purely for myself here.) I agree the code is important, but I think a cohesive project is more important. Github presents itself as a giant pastebin for code, with "projects" bolted on. Google Code presents projects first, and puts the code at an even level with every other part: bugtracker, downloads, wiki. (That said, I agree pull requests would be cool.)
- Basically the front page of any google project is like the readme in github or bitbucket. Some repos use github pages for a full site. This makes it like a google code site and better as you can actually host content.
-Issues? Github has that. -Wiki? Same.
I don't see anything feature wise that Google brings to the table that GitHub or Bitbucket doesn't out of the box or manually with even greater control.
I really want to understand what the issues are, help me understand.

That's the problem with Google Code, in my opinion. It tries to be both a landing page and a project manager for my software when I'd rather take care of the former myself. It ends up sucking at both, unfortunately.
check your .html files in to your repo and serve them from projectname.googlecode.com. You can even set your project homepage to redirect there automatically if you are clever.
Same can be done on github. I can even do a cname redirect on a bare domain.
When a user thus opts for this functionality what then is the differential factor in comparing it to GitHub?

very little, clearly.
both can host project homepages in a variety of ways. GC gives you a navigable and clean and usable project landing page by default, while github makes you work a bit harder. neither service prevents you from doing what you want, but if you care about your non-developer users, you'll find better conversions using google code. fact.
to the OPs point, there is no reason why you can't make your GC project page have more content for developers. it is a wiki. everybody loves wikis.
the OP of this thread is clearly trolling, though.

my take on it is that gc is better at running long-lived projects or projects with non-developer users. github is great, but its emphasis is strictly on coding and dvcs.
i've run svn gc projects, and projects on github, and found the gc stack to be generally more robust, cohesive, flexible, and methodically designed. ex: compare the rich functionality of the gc issue tracker to github and you'll find them incomparable. or, create a project and browse the "advanced" tab of your project and you'll probably find you have more control than it feels like, with little effort.
regarding "can actually host content" - prolly a red herring because both let you host content. they just present a different ui for it.
