CodebaseHQ.com

I’m not one for advertising (especially other people’s stuff) usually, but today I found a stellar replacement for GitHub and immediately switched over all my projects to it.  As you might have guessed from the title, it’s CodebaseHQ.com, and it’s so far ahead of the curve that I can’t imagine anyone ever using that clunky old piece of crap called GitHub (sorry GitHub guys, you’ve got some serious catching up to do, especially on uptime and performance!).

They’re set up much the same way as GitHub, except that repos are owned by projects and the cost is calculated by projects (rather than repos and collaborators like GitHub).  They don’t have anything exactly equivalent to GitHub for that reason, but for $8 a month more I get 5 more projects/repos, the same storage quota, unlimited collaborators, and far fewer headaches waiting 5 seconds per page refresh.  An added bonus is a much more complete project management toolset that includes tickets (rather than issues), milestones, and time tracking.

I won’t miss the pretty graphs that GitHub produces from your branches and merges, but if you love them you’ll have to look for something else.  So far the only issue I’ve had with CodebaseHQ (and I suggested they step up their marketing to compensate) was that it took me so long to hear about them!  Thanks to Wes R. for another excellent recommendation!
