RhodeCode vs Codeit

It's open source and it can be installed on your own machine, which gives high security and isolated environment for the codes. Whole application installation is super easy and independent from the Linux distribution.

RhodeCode supports Mercurial, Git and Subversion in a unified way that allows you to do code-reviews and other stuff on each of them.

User management is centralized around administrators which can give granular permissions to individual users or user groups/. These permissions can be related to allowing contributions, editing, or simply giving read-only access to users.

Code reviews can be done via Pull Requests, or simply commit-by-commit. There are voting rules, random reviewers pools, and smart comment invalidation logic. Pull requests are also versioned so it's easy to review partial changes after the author has updated his code.

When you create a Pull-request you can add set of reviewers. They all have to vote and approve the PR. There's some flexibility on how the voting is accepted, it can be majority wins, or all-agree. Good practice is to add BOT accounts like jenkins, that also will vote on the review, based on for example tests run, and can forbid a merge because of a negative vote. In addition users can leave special type of comments that will also prevent merges, aka TODO notes. Once TODOs are resolved a Pull Request can be merged.

RhodeCode CE (Community Edition ) is free and open source. Enterprise Edition (EE) adds premium support, corporate authentication. and tool integrations on top of the RhodeCode CE.

RhodeCode has auth plugins, now supported include: LDAP, LDAP with user groups, TOKEN, Container auth, PAM

Files can be added, modified and deleted from the web interface, including adding directories, and uploading files.

RhodeCode have the most advanced Permission system on the market, allowing things like permission inheritance, permission delegation. All comes in a format that doesn't get hard to manage at scale.

The builtin header auth can delegate authentication to other existing systems for further validation chain.

Source code is available on Github.

C, C++, C#, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Lua, LaTex, Python, Ruby, SQL and more.

Codeit is really quick to load and pretty simple in terms of UI, so setup is a minute max. It's a web app, so it weighs nothing on your phone too.

If you're editing a site and want to see how it looks, you can swipe up from the bottom edge and see it live, without any hosting, you can share these previews as well.

Codeit is available on Windows and macOS/iOS as well as Linux and Android, and looks the same on all platforms. The editor is pretty simple and you don't have to get used to new code editors every time you swap platforms.
