Project hosting

This is a list of Project hosting options, and what the options and benefits of each are.

Public

Github

Most common git-based hosting solution. Most major linux-related open source projects which do not want to support their own hosting use github.

Gnu Savanah

Run by the Free software foundation to host projects, including CVS. Non-gnu software is on a separate URL from those which are GNU projects.

Sourceforge

Generally not recommended, because of deceptive and malicious practices in distributing installers for software they hosted. Since change of ownership, they seem to be cleaning up their act.

Google Code

Deprecated. Previously a good option because it made it very easy to host own documentation.

DARCShub

Uses darcs, rather than git or SVN for project management.

Gitlab

Free private Repositories; Git-based

Launchpad

Project-centric rather than user-centric. Used by Ubuntu for PPAs.

Self-hosted

GOGS

GO Git Service. Easy to configure web interface to git repositories.
