In the past I've choosen
Google Code to host my open source code, but with DuckWiki, I started using
Git hosted on
github.com.
Git is not the only distributed version control system and there are some things, which are not so cool, like there is no real native Windows support (but I kicked Windows out of my life for a while).
Google Code provides
Mercurial as an distributed version control system and they told the rest of the world
how they implemented Mercurial on their system.
But at least their are two reasons for
github.com.
- Private repos: If you pay, you'll get private repositories for non-open-source projects.
- Social coding: github.com provides a cupple of cool features like following other coders, watching their projects, etc. It makes it all feeling like a real community of coders.
Even the
Grails team is using it.
