Hi, Artifactory can’t really be used to store source code. It’s an ARM tool, designed to handle/organize/retrieve binaries.
You could theoretically upload any type of file to Artifactory (there’s no restriction - our artifacts include everything from 20kB JARs and WARs to MSIs and multi-gigabyte VMware OVAs.) Because you can upload anything to artifactory, you could theoretically upload source code to it, but managing changes would get pretty hack-ey pretty quickly. If you’re interested in consolidating on a single storage platform or single application, you’d be much better off migrating all of your SCM content to a single one (for example, Git with Gitolite or Stash) and consolidating your ARMs similarly. (A single artifactory instance or a single Nexus instance, etc.) But no single application can do it all. (At least so far as I’m aware.)
