gitdot

A home for great open-source software.

Who is gitdot for?

Developers. People who care. People who see code as more than a means to an end, but as a craft to perfect. People who build software well — not because it is the optimal thing to do, but because it is the right thing to do.

What problem does gitdot solve?

Quality. Open-source software only has one competitive platform: GitHub. And while GitHub is an impressive product, we also know that a lack of competition enables degradation over time. There's a few pain points we're keenly aware of (e.g., CI) and make it our mission to build a better alternative.

What features will gitdot have?

• A hyper-performant Git server written in Rust.
• A code review tool that uses stacked diffs as primitive
• A sane CI/CD platform that is secure by design, locally testable and reproducible

We think things could be a lot better — and we want to release features that we're proud of. That does mean that things will take time, as building software right is still hard, but we do think you'll find it worth it.

What features will gitdot not have?

AI. We view AI as an implementation detail — and do not think that using it is necessarily good. In fact, we think it makes many products worse by acting as a bandaid for poor design. That isn't to say we are blind to it, but that we will be judicious in our use of it instead.
