  • Phasing out Bazaar code hosting – 06 Jun 2025
    What is Bazaar code hosting? Bazaar is a distributed revision control system, originally developed by Canonical. It provides similar functionality compared to the now dominant Git. Bazaar code hosting is an offering from Launchpad to both provide a Bazaar backend for hosting code, but also a web frontend for browsing the code. The frontend is […]
  • Introducing Launchpad Bug Templates – 03 Dec 2024
    The new feature bug templates in Launchpad aims to streamline the bug reporting process, making it more efficient for both users and project maintainers.

  • Introducing Project-Scoped Access Tokens – 20 Nov 2023
    Access tokens can be used to access repositories on behalf of someone. They have scope limitations, optional expiry dates, and can be revoked at any time. They are a stricter and safer alternative to using real user authentication when needing to automate pushing and/or pulling from your git repositories. This is a concept that has […]
