GitFront – Share private git repositories

Some of the most interesting software is hidden away in private repositories. GitFront empowers developers to share code with the world.

GitFront – Share private git repositories launched on July 17, 2020 with 5 votes, #1,626 of 4,305 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.

What it does

Sometimes you want to show your personal git projects to friends, associates or potential employers. With GitFront you can share private git repositories without making them public. Even if you want to share public repositories, you can take advantage of GitFront's fast repository browser and clean user interface. Speed matters. One of the fastest online repository browsers. Without messy code history. No distractions, only presentation. It may take a minute of your time to share a repository. It shouldn't take more than a few seconds to view it. Other platforms are for collaboration. GitFront is for presentation. Import a git repository. If it's private, copy and paste the deploy key.…from gitfront.io

    Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲334

    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 HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
