git-ai
by feder-cr
gitai is a server-based version control system that keeps normal Git repositories underneath but is designed for many coding agents working at the same time. It is an open-source take on a design Anthropic has described publicly, and it handles landing changes, conflict resolution and history queries on the server.

What you can do with it
- Run a server where many coding agents fetch only the files they need and land changes without a merge queue
- Set up automatic conflict resolution using any AI provider or fixed rules, with tests that must pass before a change lands
- Give each agent its own token and branch rules, and watch a live log of every change
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer to set up and tune agent-friendly code hosting and review rules for small teams that use coding agents heavily.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Run a shared code host for several AI coding agents so they can work in parallel without clashing over the same branches
- Cut the time engineers spend resolving merge conflicts and fixing broken builds by using automatic resolution and revert-on-failure checks
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell (MIT-style terms in the licence file). Some folders may carry other terms.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
You clone the repository and build it with make, which needs Go 1.26, a C toolchain, Meson and Ninja on Linux or macOS, then start the server from a TOML config file.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licence is not clearly detected by the repository data, although the README says MIT
- Independent implementation of a publicly described design and not affiliated with Anthropic
- Young project with a heavy build and server setup
- Linux or macOS only, with no Windows support mentioned
- Automatic AI conflict resolution needs careful verification settings to be safe
