My team has just started looking for a github replacement because the code review workflow is just not working for us, we need something with more structure. I think there's plenty of space for feature and price competition, especially for private repos where github's social network effects don't matter as much.

#32Are they saying it is not secure?

Note Cloud Source Repositories are intended to store only the source code for your application and not user or personal data. Do not store any Core App Engine End User Data (as defined in your License Agreement) in a Cloud Source Repository. To use a hosted Git repository with a Cloud Source Repository, you must first open an account with GitHub or Bitbucket (independent companies separate from Google). If you push source code to a Cloud Source Repository, Google will make a copy of this data which will be hosted in the United States.

#33Can't wait to see how long it takes them to get rid of this one like they did with Google Code
Re: Google has quietly launched a GitHub competitor
#34This just seems to be a place to have the code that you run on Google Cloud Platform. Not exactly a competitor.
For Google to launch something purely as a "Github competitor" would be silly because those using Github would quickly dismiss it; "we already have Github!"
So Google are playing up the integration with the rest of Google Cloud, integrating with Github and Bitbucket, and offering additional features.
You have to extrapolate a bit to realize it, and Google probably won't admit it, but this is definitely intended as a Github/Bitbucket competitor.

#35> It can serve as a “remote” for Git repositories sitting elsewhere on the Internet or locally. That's not a feature of this product, it's just how git works.

#39This article is just click bait. Pretty sure this product is just so you can store your code/repo for your project using Google's cloud services. It's part of a whole for their cloud offering.

#40Does this have an API?
