CodePlex was a software repository owned by Microsoft. It hosted only open source software paired with an open source license.[1]

CodePlex allowed people to commit their code into a version control repository. It had a downloads section for people to upload their software packages, an issue tracker, documentation repository, and discussion forums.

Vital signs

The shutdown announcement was made on 31st March 2017 [2]. New project creation was disabled at the same time the shutdown announcement was published. On an unspecified date in October 2017 the site will be made read-only. Shutdown is scheduled for 15th December 2017.

Archiving

After the 15th December 2017 shutdown date the announcement indicates that "lightweight archives" containing project source code, documentation, downloads, documentation, license, and issues as-of the date the site changed to read-only will be available. There is no planned date to stop hosting these archives.

The shutdown announcement indicates that project owners will be provided a tool to migrate their sites to Github. As of the announcement date the migration tool is "in the works".
