Lately I have been using a local SVN repo on my network for version control as it is easier than making multiple backup copies but wanted to start making some of my software public even if it isn't all that great, at least it can get it out there so I can get more feedback.

I do have one project on Google Code but would like a place I can have multiple projects hosted that is easier to manage. With GC I have to have one page per project which gets annoying. I am looking into either GitHub or Sourceforge. I would like to limit commits though to certain people as well as have a download counter for files. If I can add a webpage as well for all my projects that would be ideal but I could probably start with some other site if I needed to.

What would you guys suggest I use?

I've had really good experiences with GitHub. Git is an easy version control system to use, and GitHub has some really good documentation and tutorials. It also does everything you said you wanted (multiple projects, limit who can commit) except for adding a website. You can make a readme file with html markup, though, which will be shown at the front page of the project, as well as a wiki for each project.

Ahh i would give BitBucket a whirl, its quite a nice setup they have and using Mercurial for version control is much easier. I find github is also good but it can also be a nuisance.

Github is great. I have used it for several personal projects, and once you get the hang of git then it is really handy. Github gives you a lot of extra useful info, such as the network graphs. Git can be complex, but learning it is worthwhile as it will be used heavily in professional development in years to come.

I like Github but it's lack of private repositories sucks for me. Just because of that I use BitBucket with Git as the DVCS. BitBucket now supports Git by the way, and it lets you open unlimited private repositories.

Yea the private repositories is a good thing for me too. I use them all the time as it saves me if i work on different operating systems or if i want to update builds on devices by syncing with a repo using cron or something to that effect.

Huh, cool - I might give BitBucket a try, then. Thanks for the tip :-)

^ I'd definitely heck out BitBucket, I just set up an account myself and if you have a .edu email from college or something then you get a free unlimited account, which is incredible. It looks extremely powerful and even has integrated wiki pages that you can set up for your projects along with issue tracking. It's also got a ton of documentation for usage

...can you tell I'm excited?

[Tayacan]

I can tell!

Well, Github has wikis and issue tracking too, but no private repos unless you get a paid account... Next project I make, I'll set up on BitBucket, I think xP

Just another one to throw out there: Beanstalk is pretty good. It has an easy to use interface and allows a good range of control. It has Git and Subversion support. I've used it for large and small scale projects with other coders.
