How to disable public access to the source code in Google Code?

Solution 1

There are no read restrictions on Google Code, so there's no way to create a project that's completely private.

If you want a private code repository, I recommend you check this question:

• Free version control server provider for non-public projects

Solution 2

You can't...

We only intend to host projects that are open source software projects, documentation projects directly related to open source software development, and projects for the development and maintenance of open standards.

I think you can't. Projects hosted at googleCode must be public!

Solution 4

You can't, but you can hide some tabs

Solution 5

There are of course alternatives to Google Code. BitBucket has free hosting and allows private repositories for free. There are some limits, but for a reasonably small project with few team members you might be OK.
