I am intrigued by the level of sophistication this Google's private git offers. But I'm not probably in their intended audience as I'm not interested in providing my full personal and credit card information just to use git... I am probably just too ingrained in GitHub and AWS to even consider other options. But I'm curious, still. Is it ... good? I hope somebody is going to share their experience with me.

Regardless of Git you should check out Google Cloud. Massive improvement in developer experience in comparison to AWS.

It's just git so there's not much sophistication, nor is one service "better" than another in that regard.

Github/Gitlab are still far more useful as they are more than just repos. The issues, PRs, wikis, and general management features are what most projects need. Azure DevOps is probably the best competitor from the clouds.

Sure git is just git. I was referring more to the other features this PR piece is promising: Fast Code Search, Debug in production, Detailed audit logs.

I am curious how they relate to say Github or other services.

Also as a sidenote, the Quickstart link for Debug in production and Detailed audit logs is the same. Is it so for a purpose?

Cloud Source Repositories PM here.

Thanks for pointing this out. It's not intentional. I'll make sure it gets fixed.

Cloud Repos and Cloud Build are very lacking. I wouldn't recommend for anything other than side projects.

Github, Gitlab, Azure DevOps are also either free or very cheap and have 100x more features and functionality.

Google Cloud is worth checking out. CSR is just one of their offerings in the GCP ecosystem.
