Google Code had git support and a fair amount of traction within the open source community at one point but they let it stagnate and eventually put it in read-only mode. I don't think Google actually wants to be in the code hosting business for the community at large.

Google already has this: https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/

I believe Amazon has something similar.

Huh.

Does Google also have an issue tracker?

AFAIK, no.

Heck, Chrome and Android both use (separate) in-house ones.

They have a couple, neither are usable by Cloud customers. I believe the git integration is for Stackdriver Debugger (debug stuff in prod with viewing source), and container builder[0].

As for issue trackers, there is the chromium one that is based off of the old Google code issue tracker [1]. And about a year ago they started exposing a newer issue tracker[2].

I feel like there is an opportunity here for them to provide a CitC as a service type thing.

I wonder if google would want to buy Atlassian some time in the future?
