Ask HN: how do you archive/preserve your source code?

1 pointvrypan2 comments

I'd like your input. When you're done with a software project (not open source), how do you preserve/archive your code?

Would you use something like longaccess.com as a long-term backup solution? (disclaimer: I'm the founder of longaccess)

If our service was immediately available, would you use it from the command-line, or would you wait for a desktop GUI?

Any feedback would be valuable. Thank you.

All my work is via Git. So in my team we use GitHub for our normal projects (pay per project), and when we're done, I put it onto BitBucket (pay per user), so whatever I put onto BitBucket is then free of charge. I think I'll stick to this solution as it's cheap (read: free).

However, if I was to use your service, I'd be happy to use command line.

Thank you domness. What is the average size of your repo?
