Hi guys, I'm in the process of moving my personal projects to Github using Google code exporter. As of now, it failed because too much traffic... The procedure seems quite straightforward though, just click...
I would really stay away from Sourceforge, it's too old, lots of ads, slow, lots of maintenance. Googlecode somewhat was created to compete sites like SF... As for github vs bitbucket, it seems github seems more famous, bitbucket seems to host mostly python project (it's written in python though not related): http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~bmiller/top50.html (not sure about how reliable is the page though). Github is the one I always hear about the most, both for open source projects & jobs announcements. It seems the pricing isn't done the same (see bitbucket page, free for 5 users only). I guess you won't take any risk moving to github, there are so many famous projects here, and you will gain a better visibility than GC. Finally, and most importantly, wherever you decide to go, you'll be using git (or mercurial) a decentralized source version control system. SVN is not decentralized, it's centralized on googlecode for instance, there's one repo people are committing to. Decentralized repo means you have your own repo on your PC (as if you were hositng the server), then repos are synced when users "push" or "pull" (following git terminology) code using an "origin". This is a huge difference, allowing many interesting things (like private commits, offline work), but it adds complexity. Git is more complex (I don't know for Hg), it requires time to handle it, but it's powerful, and clearly something to consider nowadays. FWIW, HTH Cheers s.
