Make your projects public with our new public access feature

Posted on April 13th, 2010 13:36

We've just deployed an update which will allow you to make your Codebase projects public. This allows you to allow non-logged in users to browse repositories, view tickets & milestones and browse your wiki pages.

Obviously, this feature is optional and disabled by default. If you wish to try it out, you can do so by going to the project settings tab and selecting the 'Enable Public Access' button. You can then follow the on-screen instructions and set permissions for public users.

You can choose to enable tickets, milestones or wiki and also choose which individual repositories from the project are visible.

Once enabled, users accessing your codebase domain will be greeted with a list of projects rather than your normal login page. From this page, they can select a project and then browse whichever areas they please (including full repository browsing - commits, trees, blobs etc...).

Git users can clone public git repositories using a public Git URL. This URL is displayed to public users and authenticated users should continue to use the SSH-based path for repository access. We'll be investigating ways to open this level of access to subversion & mercurial in the coming weeks.

As an example, you can take a look at our own public projects at https://codebase.codebasehq.com or https://atech.codebasehq.com.
