I'd point out Google Code predated Github and for a while was the cool kid in town. They were late in supporting Git and slow to improve the feature set. Another lead Google threw away.
- manigandham 10y agoGithub is barely at $200M in revenue and requires a lot of moving pieces to make that happen - something that just doesnt make sense for the scale of Google. It's not really a great business opportunity. However, Google Cloud Platform does have private repositories that can also be used in their CI/CD solution. https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/ https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/
- andybak 10y agoFair point. Sometimes Google abandons something not because of institutional dysfuntionality - but simply because they are aiming much much bigger. Shame if you happen to live in the path of the juggernaut however...
- sqeaky 10y agoThat is a small revenue considering the impact they have on the world. I wonder how they might better monetize without becoming obnoxious?
