Google Code Disables New Project Creation, Will Shut Down On January 25, 2016

Posted by timothy on from the that's-a-shame dept.

An anonymous reader writes GitHub has officially won. Google has announced that Google Code project creation has been disabled today, with the ultimate plan to kill off the service next year. On August 24, 2015, the project hosting service will be set to read-only. This means you will still be able to checkout/view project source, issues, and wikis, but nobody will be able to make changes or new commits. On January 25, 2016, Google Code will be shut down. Google says you will be able to download tarballs of project source, issues, and wikis "throughout the rest of 2016." After that, Google Code will be gone for good.

    How many Google services actually stick around?
    More importantly, when will they do this to Google+?

      you should write google a letter about this

      I'm pretty sure the only emails Google doesn't read are the ones addressed to it.
