Please can you add a way for projects on google code to do a redirect to wherever they have gone. I moved all my projects late 2013, put notices on all pages I could etc, but still searching for the project often shows the google code site first. https://code.google.com/p/apsw/ Google Code did one thing very well - each project could have one wiki and issue tracker, but any number of source code repos. This is fantas…
> Github for example only lets you have one source repository per project, and as a result the wikis and issues are useless since they are almost always filed against the wrong sub-project. You can disable the wiki and issues pages on a repository-by-repository basis. If you're looking to solve the issue of issues being filed in the wrong place, you could try to pick the component that is the most central or most fro…
This doesn't help for the issues. With commit messages you can reference or close tickets (eg "fixes #73"), but that won't be available if committing, unless in the one repo that does have issues enabled.

> It is hard to objectively determine what is the better hosting, but based on people's individual preferences, they can subjectively decide for themselves, which the wikipedia article helps out by clearly explaining the differences. It's quite easy to tell actually. Responsiveness of the UI, featureset, availability, size of the community. * Gitlab is measurably slower (it takes about 5 seconds to load the commit pa…
On GitLab I could not search for top repositories by programming language. For a beginner like me, it is very important. I could go to Github and search for top repositories in the language I am learning. I usually find top projects, try to figure out how they work, how a experienced dev does a specific stuff (compared to noob like me) and I ask myself how can I "copy" those traits and improve myself. On GitLab, if I…
Thanks these valid concerns. We would certainly like to improve the discover functionality in GitLab. Right now https://gitlab.com/explore is pretty limited. But the community is actively working on this. This month we introduced a commit calendar and I'm sure that it will improve further over the coming months.

Totally agree. And even better, we put your quote about Chris his quote on there together with you HN profile :) See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/7eb4ced6... and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/b9342fd5... (if you'll get in trouble for this please say so here or via sytse@gitlab.com and I'll remove it ASAP)
Wow dude, not only is using someone's quote on your website without consent pretty unclassy, using their employer to add legitimacy and make it seem like they're speaking on behalf of the company is just not ok at all.
Thanks cluenerf, this wasn't as funny as I thought yesterday. Using their employer is not cool. I've removed it . Thanks for helping me realize. I removed it https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/5398cb57...

I think you should wait, get permission from both and put it. You have put Sachin's company name and position also...
Yeah, in hindsight we should have asked permission. I thought it was funny but this was over the edge. I removed it https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/5398cb57...

Doesn't github provide svn access? Bitbucket too, I think.
Does it? I dunno. Honestly, I'll probably just download the archive and take it offline. I don't want to think about this shit.
Re: Bidding farewell to Google Code
#417I predicted this a long time ago and I've moved my projects off. I would recommend migrating to self hosting to prevent an issue like this in the future. It's not too much of a hassle if you only have a couple of projects but when you have 10+ migrating to another source code hosting service is a real pain. If you are looking for a good list of what's out there check out this stackexchange post: http://softwarerecs.s…

I think I was looking for a way to "hide" a project/make it private. And after about 30 minutes of clicking around trying different settings/features I felt like it was too bloated for me. For me - I love the simplistic nature of Google Code.

Just to be clear, I asked the person that was quoted what he thought about it as I posted it and he seemed pretty relaxed https://twitter.com/sachinag/status/576145655120277504 but I still thought it was better to remove it.

You can set who can view a project with Edit Project > Visible To.
