If they allowed private repos under your google data quota it would be a github killer because UI doesn't matter then and github is overpriced for that unless you throw all your code in one repo.

Its a distributed system. Use them both if you want. Each have their strengths.
so is bitbucket and bitbucket has unlimited space if you are under 5 users per project
BitBucket also lets you have unlimited Private repositories, which can be important (e.g. versioning personal files).

#75Google 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…
ck the "My Favorites" link in upper right

Bring em on! Most of the work on the site is bringing some needed aspects to the fore, but the success of the + launch has spawned some really interesting ideas on how we can help users of the site share aspects of their projects to +.
Interesting. By forcing a new product name to be a recognized symbol, you remove all translation issues for the product name itself. English? Google +. Italian? Google +. Sneaky/clever.
The name "Google" itself doesn't get translated, either.

After further investigation I found out the "My Favorites" link doesn't show projects that were marked for deletion but not yet deleted.

So does the backend use Java Git, or some specialized version of C git?
Neither: Dulwich.
http://code.google.com/u/dborowitz@google.com/ - wow, neat to see dulwich in use for such a big project.

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…
I think I'm going to make a module to help people with GitHub repos create a friendlier layout for non-developers.

- 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…
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 incomparabl…
I think what he means is that you can actually design a site for your project and host it on Github. For example:
http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
Are there any non-google sites that do this on google code? As far as I can tell, all of them look like this:
Which is fine, but I'd hardly say that a new user would find that less daunting than the Homebrew page. There's a lot going on, and it's trying to cater to both people who want to use waf and people who want to work on waf.
