Git hosting that never leaves Europe

*The product is stable, but still in development. That's why some of the core things like pricing, etc. are missing. BUT:*

1. Business Model: Pushin will have subscriptions for individuals and teams. Pricing is not yet decided but it'll be close to GitHub/GitLab pricing.

2. Privacy: In true German fashion, we *don't* want your private data. Pushin doesn't track anything beyond the obvious: email, password hash, username, whatever information you put on your profile.

3. Roadmap: We're currently in Beta, but everything looks good so far. We'll probably go GA beginning of 2027. I'll focus on delivering the core features first and make sure that they are polished and of good quality before moving on to the nice-to-haves.

4. I say "we" but it's really only me (Peter Ullrich, peterullrich.com) and my dog (Bella, Labrador, beige). "We" are not VC funded, but bootstrapping on bare metal Scaleway servers. My wish is for this to become a proper company soon though.

5. Tech-stack: Elixir (Phoenix + LiveView) for most parts, Rust for the Git parts, S3-compatible buckets and Postgres on Scaleway, servers are bare metal Scaleway servers running in Paris.

6. Git implementation: Just like Tangled, I've used Rust and the gitoxide libraries to build a Git implementation that's fully compatible with the canonical Git CLI, but uses S3-compatible buckets as storage instead of keeping the entire repo on disk. I'll write in-depth about this soon, but it's very much what Tangled did, just with a different storage concept.

I gotta be honest that I'm both scared but also excited that Pushin hit HN. I wish we'd be better prepared, but here we are. Many thanks to anyone who is willing to try it out!

The UI is a lot snappier than Github.

The promise not to train models on the code is not very useful for public repos, and I cannot see anything about private repos.

The humour is there: https://pushin.eu/orgs/mctestface/members (Boaty Mac Boat Face ref mentioned)

also fits the description of "Git hosting that never leaves Europe".

It should cost money - I just want to know how much.

That name though, does make me feel that somewhere in the stack is a tool called Gitler. Sorry!!

I'd love a CI platform that just used a super thin docker + script driver. Rather than platform specific YAML files that define steps.

Idea is promising though, hope it matures into something solid.

And yet the marketing copy is egregious AI slop.

There's a possibility this was made by a person. Apart from that good luck getting any information behind this.
