24 alternatives to GitHits beta 0.9
It has been almost 10 years since I started the opencv-python packaging project. Scaling it to more than 100 million downloads as a side project showed me how much ease of installation and proper package distribution matter to users. It gave the computer vision ecosystem a noticeable boost. Now I have a new idea that I hope can help even more people across the broader software engineering world. A while ago, I realized I kept giving the same advice to teammates and friends when they ran into a programming issue they couldn't easily solve: go to GitHub and look at how others solved it. There…
GitHits is a code example engine that helps AI agents and developers find solutions by searching real code examples from GitHub repositories.

GitHired▲360Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

Hey HN! I built a proof-of-concept for AI memory using Git instead of vector databases. The insight: Git already solved versioned document management. Why are we building complex vector stores when we could just use markdown files with Git's built-in diff/blame/history? How it works: Memories stored as markdown files in a Git repo Each conversation = one commit git diff shows how understanding evolves over time BM25 for search (no embeddings needed) LLMs generate search queries from conversation context Example: Ask "how has my project evolved?" and it uses git diff to show actual…

I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…

What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

Hey HN, I posted GitClassic here 2 months ago- since then I've rebuilt most of it based on what people asked for. https://gitclassic.com What's new: Issues, PRs w/ full diffs, repo intelligence (health scores, dependency graphs), trending/explore, bookmarks, comparison tool, and advanced search. Every page is server-rendered HTML- No React, no SPA, no client bundle, pages under 14KB(gzipped). Try loading facebook/react and compare it to GitHub load times. Public repos work without an account, Pro adds private repo access via GitHub OAuth. Stack: Hono on Lambda,…

GitGuessr▲98I built this game as a playful way to train code reading skills. You're dropped into a random location in a real GitHub repo where some lines code are hidden. The goal is to pick up clues from the surrounding code and fill in the missing lines as quickly as possible. It currently has curated game content for Python, TypeScript, JavaScript (by most metrics the top 3 languages on GitHub). I had the idea when it dawned on me that reviewing and understanding code spat out by an LLM is a key skill for the AI era. (I sincerely hope you're critically reviewing what your favorite LLM is serving…

Hey HN After years working in software engineering and helping with hiring, I noticed a frustrating pattern: Companies often rely on résumés and LinkedIn titles to find developers instead of looking at what they've actually built. So I built GitMatcher. It analyzes GitHub profiles to surface developers based on: Their public repos Commit history Originality and usefulness of code Patterns that show consistency and real skill No keywords. No job titles. Just code. GitMatcher is useful if you're: - A recruiter tired of resume roulette - A founder looking for a technical co-founder - An OSS…

Hey! I wanted to share a tool I've been working on. It's still very early and a work in progress, but I've found it incredibly helpful when working with Claude and OpenAI's models. What it does: I created a Python script that dumps your entire Git repository into a single file. This makes it much easier to use with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Key Features: - Respects .gitignore patterns - Generates a tree-like directory structure - Includes file contents for all non-excluded files - Customizable file type filtering Why I find it useful for…

Hi folks! My name is Alexander Shvets. People know me best as an admirer of raccoons and the creator of Refactoring.Guru Today I'd like to show you the project I've been working on for the past two years: https://gitbybit.com It's a Git course that runs inside your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, and friends), so you learn Git by using it in real dev environment. It's well-designed and illustrated. ## Who is it for? The course will be most helpful for three groups of people: - Developers who “use Git” but mostly as a black box. You know a few commands, but you want to actually…

https://github.com/chrissound/GitChapter Hello! This is a project I've written on the side for the past year or two. Thought it may be time to perhaps share the project! Essentially I got tired of writing programming blog posts, that were error prone and tedious to copy / past commands. I also got tired of trying to learn from programming posts written by others, and having to setup all the necessary files from scratch. GitChapter (as a user/reader) ultimately allows you to checkout a programming tutorial/blog post directly at a specific "chapter", and…
