Google Code – subversion & project hosting

I was looking for a way to use a subversion repository to version control the code that I write in my spare time for fun and learning. I found a number of options that require a monthly subscription, and then I came across Google Code. I have visited Google Code page before but never noticed the link “Project Hosting” which leads to page that lets you create a new project. The Google Code project hosting is similar to SourceForge (unlike sourceforge, you don’t need to get an approval before creating a project). A project that caught my eye is the open source OCR effort called OCRopus.

Google Code is pretty basic but it works fairly well. CVSDude has a free account too, although it doesn’t include Trac integration (I like being able to commit a change and say “Fixes #123 by doing xyz” and have it automatically update the bug).

I’ve been using Google Code for most of my open source projects pretty much since they launched (mid-2006):
