bkil vs. programming

Many have desired to collaborate in the development of Google Apps Scripts. Two outstanding issues had been open for some time in this area: Issue 1959: Collaborative editing of scripts Issue 217: Make Google Code the back-end version control for collaborative scripting A feature offered from June enables API access of script source code. This potentially enables connection to an external repository, like Google Code or GitHub. See the linked screencast and talk or the API below. YouTube: Apps Script Crash Course: Import/Export Apps Script Code Google Developers: Importing and Exporting Projects After breaking this barrier, I can now start gathering some of my more useful scripts to share via bkil-open, though I'll probably simply copy&paste for now.

I plan to share my sources via a software project management suite. From now on, you could even contribute if you wish! You could also follow project updates (commits, documentation pages, releases, etc.) in your feed reader. I don't have a problem with using Google's products for open source development, but do tell me if you think otherwise. Kosi had recommended GitHub, but it doesn't offer all features I need, and I'm hesitant to spread over many service providers. For more information, visit the bkil's personally developed and used tools project summary page.

EDIT: updated on 2016-02-06 (fixed links, added QtCreator) The people I've discussed refactoring with usually got pretty enthusiastic about it when showing them what can be done in properly designed languages like Java, Erlang or Haskell. They asked whether these kind of things were doable for weaker programming languages like C and C++ by free open source tools. I don't have much experience in this topic, as I haven't done bigger projects in this language yet, and the small ones I did were usually properly designed for the purpose from the start. So I looked around for possible solutions , and doing a few web searches yielded the following links. I may try some of these in the future just for curiosity. Be warned that not all listed features are available or complete. If you have experience with any of these, or with any refactoring tool for that matter, please let us hear your voice in the comments. (Maybe it would be worthwhile to open a wiki about available ref...
