Google Code (AKA Project Hosting) is a software repository that is owned by Google. It hosts only open source software paired with an open source license.[1]

Google Code allows people to commit their code into either a Subversion (SVN), Git or Mercurial repository. It has a downloads section for people to upload their software packages (with a quota limit of 4GB, can be increased upon request) and also a wiki for projects to document their work at. There is also an issue tracker to track bugs in the project's software.

Vital signs

The site goes read-only on 24th August, 2015, followed by the closing on 25th January, 2016[2].

Archiving

Archiving source code repositories is rather easy (and incremental). Just clone the git/hg repository, or checkout SVN repo. For SVN, make sure that you checkout all branches, not just trunk. Ideally for svn one would use "svnrdump dump REPO" to dump not only the latest revision of the repository, but the complete history.

Archiving bugtrackers and the other stuff will be a bit harder.

A tool to export a repository to GitHub is available[3]. If the repository has been migrated to GitHub, the project is no longer available for access.
