Code.Google.com now supports git
Project administrators can now switch their source repo to git (or mercurial or subversion).
From the page:
"This chooses the type of version control repository used to store the project source code and wiki.
Modifying this setting will not delete existing Git, Mercurial, and Subversion data, but it will change the way the site displays your project's contents."
- muloka 15y agoHoorah! This is great news.
- swasheck 15y agofinally.
- cdibona 15y agoI'd say a better link is to the issue we marked 'fixed' : http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=2454 http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=2454 Or to the project creation page: http://code.google.com/hosting/createProject http://code.google.com/hosting/createProject We hope you like it.
- dave1010uk 15y agoI got an email alert on that issue and all it said was resolution changed to fixed, with no comment. I thought it could be a mistake so I went to code.google.com looking for some kind of announcement and found nothing, then finally found the create project page and saw the drop-down with git in it! Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into it. I think many people don't realise how much work goes into something when you deploy it on a Google scale.
- cdibona 15y agoThe team has done some good work and have indeed been working hard. They do appreciate the recognition for sure. We talked about how we should break the news that we supported git. Marking the bug fixed was a good approach to it as then we knew those that cared enough to click on the little star on the issue would know, and that would be a pretty good start. A few people noticed in the 1/2 hour or so between the launch and the issue change, so that was funny to watch. We'll do a formal post later. Right now we're mostly watching and seeing what happens so we can make sure the site is in good shape. So....try it out and let us know how you like it.

- jjm 15y agoHow about linking Google code to Google+. Where projects have their own 'Project+' personality and what not. You could even have a 'downloads' like 'Photos' for all the people who don't seem to like GitHub (don't know why but ok). I have tons of more suggestions... of course they will need to be validated :-P
- cdibona 15y agoBring 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 +.
- seiji 15y agoInteresting. 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.
- eru 15y agoThe name "Google" itself doesn't get translated, either.
- jjm 15y agoDone! http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=5569 http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=5569
- kierank 15y agoAny chance of fixing this bug? http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=840#c6 http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=840#c6 It's totally bizzare to get other people's Google Code traffic data in your Google Analytics.

- mattj 15y agoWhat are the advantages of using google code over github?
- seanmccann 15y agoAre there really any reasons to use Google Code when GitHub is kicking so much ass?
- jhawk28 15y agoIts a distributed system. Use them both if you want. Each have their strengths.
- mindcrime 15y agoIts a distributed system. Use them both if you want. Each have their strengths. This is what I do. I like the way Google Code is oriented around giving you more of a "project" view, so I have a Google Code page for my projects, but I replaced the "Source" link with the link to the corresponding Github repo. I treat the Github repo as the primary repo for development, but I do use git-svn to push the code to Google Code SVN as well.. I figure it makes a convenient "read only" mirror for anybody who just wants to check the code out, play with it, whatever, but who isn't really interested in contributing... or for people who don't know how to use Git yet.
- shareme 15y agoso is bitbucket and bitbucket has unlimited space if you are under 5 users per project
- Kwpolska 15y agoBitbucket? No, thanks. It doesn't have the awesomeness of GitHub. GitHub uses JavaScript for everything. You have keyboard shortcuts, AJAX repository browsing, awesome issues system...
- amirhhz 15y agoBitBucket also lets you have unlimited Private repositories, which can be important (e.g. versioning personal files).
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI see it also still supports horrible UI. Pass.
- telemachos 15y agoUnhelpfully snarky way to put that. Why not say "Getting Git is great. I hope that the UI is improved soon too."?
- beder 15y agoOr even better, explain what about the UI could be improved. I've been using Google Code for several years, and I love the UI.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoFor starters: What is the #1 reason to visit a project page? To download the source. Does the #2 reason come even close? No. So why in the world is the repo URL not on the front page, and easy for me to copy/paste into a terminal? Why? Github even has a button that will copy it to the clipboard for you!
- nakkiel 15y agoMeh. The term 'Project' embodies much much more than just 'code'. A Project is made of its many components: team, community, bug trackers, documentation, resources, news feed and code (I've certainly omitted several other things). Only after looking at these elements can you get a picture of the project which will tell you a lot about it. How is the support? Do developers even care? Are they serious at issues handling? Etc. OSS suffers a lot from people who think they can just paste the code, change the implementation when they feel like it, etc.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoThanks, that brings up another Google Code ui failure. The front page of a Google Project gives you no indication if the project is being maintained. When I go to a project on Github this is my flow: 1) When was the last check in? 18 months ago? Pass. Recent? Yes, please. 2) Usage examples? No? Maybe if I really need you. Yes? I'll at least give you shot. 3) Copy git url to the clipboard and then clone it. Google Code doesn't do a good job of any of these!
- cookiecaper 15y agoLack of git support is one of the major things that has prevented me from using google code. I'm happy to hear it's resolved. :)
- grandalf 15y agoWaiting to get invited to a Google Code drinkup.
- shazow 15y agoThat'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 because they strongly emphasize it in the user's experience. 2. Managing forks and pull requests is easier on Github. I want my life as a maintainer to be as easy as possible. 3. Notifications: For a long time, Google Code notifications simply didn't work for me, at all. I'd randomly stumble on one of my older projects and noticed 5 new issues opened that I didn't know about, I felt like I betrayed my users for 6+ months. Now they seem like they do, but some trust has been lost. 4. Multiple choices of documentation markup on Github is appealing. 5. The code browsing feature on Google Code feels like its own application. When you open a Github project, first thing you see is the code. On Google Code it takes 2 more clicks (that's 1 more click than Bitbucket). Think about what's the most important thing here—the code, and Github got it right. As far as version control goes, I'm happy with either Git or Mercurial.
- sussman 15y ago(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.)
- gte910h 15y agoWhile I agree with you on the facts of projects vs code, I actually LOVE that the PROJECT isn't on github. It makes the wily nilly use/patches from 3rd parties so much easier. It makes Google Code feel a little too sourceforgey.
- andos 15y agoThat'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.
- tommyvyo 15y agoWhile we're on the subject of git, can anyone recommend me a Git host that doesn't limit the number of private repositorys? $8 a month and only five private repositories is really restricting, and my only real complaint with GitHub.
- kpanghmc 15y agoWhile I agree with the sentiment in this thread that developers aren't going to be flocking over from GitHub anytime soon, at the very least this should help keep GitHub motivated (not that they've given us any reason for concern thus far). Competition is a good thing.
- riobard 15y agoDoes anyone know if it supports authentication using SSH public key instead of another password?
- zerosanity 15y agoGoogle 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 http://code.google.com/p/myproject) from memory.
- nolliesnom 15y agock the "My Favorites" link in upper right
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- zerosanity 15y agoAfter further investigation I found out the "My Favorites" link doesn't show projects that were marked for deletion but not yet deleted.
- walrusty 15y ago> 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.
- MrMan 15y agoI for one really like google code.
- flocial 15y agoIf 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.
- keke_ta 15y agoThat's awesome.
- diogoleal 15y agoI like gthub.
