Google code <i>has been</i> shutdown since last May.<p>AFAIK, Google uses code to host internal projects as well as open source projects.<p>Apparently some users were spamming and&#x2F;or hosting illegal content for download. Instead of spending resources fixing what is essentially a free service to the public, they just shut it down and converted all repos to read-only mode.<p>At this point, I pretty much assume that any service that Google offers for free sans advertising exists to attract free beta testers. Eventually, it&#x27;ll be converted to either a paid service or internal-only use.<p><i>Source: lots of time wasted migrating projects to GitHub.</i>
