The European GitHub Alternative We Needed

We built Gitte because we couldn't find what we were looking for: a truly European alternative to GitHub. While American platforms dominate the market, European companies and developers lack a simple option that keeps their code and data on European soil under European law. Gitte solves this. Based on the proven Gitea platform and hosted exclusively on Hetzner's European infrastructure, Gitte gives you everything you expect from modern Git hosting—without routing your intellectual property through foreign jurisdictions.

We're free to use because we believe basic infrastructure shouldn't require enterprise budgets. Whether you're an independent developer in Oslo or a company in Munich, you get unlimited private repositories, built-in CI/CD, and team collaboration at no cost. Your code stays in Europe, your data follows GDPR by default, and you're never locked into proprietary platforms or pricing schemes.

Gitte exists to fill a gap in the European tech ecosystem. We saw teams choosing between convenience and sovereignty, between features and control. With Gitte, you don't have to choose. It's the European GitHub alternative that simply works—hosted in Europe, built for Europe, free for everyone.

Sincerely,
