I have been using Gitorious to post occasional Perl and spreadsheets. I have also collaborated on an Excel VBA project on Google Code. Now both are closing. I prefer Git, although I don't know any of the version control systems well enough for that to be an informed choice. I'm not in the business of paying in order to give my work away free, so migrating to Gitlab doesn't appeal.

There is a comparison of repositories at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_source_code_software_hosting_facilities, but the only ones from which I have downloaded are Github (which I don't like because of its insistence on Javascript) and SourceForge. Have any monks experiences from which I can profit before deciding on a new site?

TIA & regards,

John Davies
