A former GitHub CEO is rolling out his own Git hosting platform after months of teasing, focusing on a decentralised approach as the “answer to Git in the era of agents”.

Thomas Dohmke, CEO from November 2021 to September 2025, launched the distributed Git hosting network built by his startup, Entire, on Wednesday.

In a launch blog post, he said decentralisation would “enable every developer and organization alike to host in-region and build with speed and sovereignty, while participating in a global collaborative system.”

Entire is a “fully rebuilt Git Backend” that currently runs on distributed nodes, allowing users to pin their repos to whichever region, or regions, they want to use. 

Currently, the open source platform has regions in the US, Europe, and Australia, with more set to be added in the future, alongside self-hosting support.
