GitHub is one of the most popular repositories that exist right now. You can find a lot of different projects there, including tutorials, open-source projects and more. But if you don't want to get into GitHub, let me help you discover some attractive alternatives you may find handy.
What is Github?
For those starting in the coding world GitHub may be an unknown ally. GitHub is an online code repository where you can store and share your code with other people.
It is the most popular platform for developers to store and share their code.
GitHub alternatives
Even though GitHub is the most known, you can find some other attractive alternatives that can work as well as GitHub.
GitLab
The first alternative I'm going to talk about is GitLab. It offers fantastic tools that improve the integration and automate the analysis and code handling, which makes creating different programming projects easier.
It also has its code viewer.
Cloud Source Repositories
This one is the repository made by Google. It allows linking different repositories from GitHub or Bitbucket.
It also lets us use Google repositories, making it much easier to create our projects. There are many tools we can use for our projects. For example, we can search for code fragments using our web searcher to help us with the development.
Bitbucket
Bitbucket is a handy alternative to GitHub to store our coding projects to share them with others. We can create private repositories for this.
Another attractive feature is that it is free to share and save projects, and we can also import developments from GitHub.
Bitbucket is a neat alternative for companies since we can use the platform for free up to five users.
SourceForge
SourceForge is a popular open-source code platform that has had difficulties these years. Even so, owners have managed to fix many problems and make it stand out. If you are working on open-source projects, it may be a good idea to check it out.
To sum up
GitHub is currently the top code repository regarding users and popularity, but many other rivals are rising to compete with this platform.
In this post, we have briefly described other alternatives you may like more than GitHub, so go check them out and decide which one is for you!
