What's cooking on SourceHut? Q3 2025

Welcome to sourcehut! This suite of open source tools is the software development platform you've been waiting for. We've taken the wisdom of the most successful open-source communities and turned it into a platform of efficient engineering tools.

Absolutely no tracking or advertising
All features work without JavaScript
No AI features whatsoever
Many features work without an account
100% free and open source software
Supports hundreds of free software projects

Sourcehut is currently available as a public alpha. What should I expect?

"Small internet" protocols? The Plan 9 renaissance? Esoteric programming languages for music creation, and novel smartphone operating systems? These projects and more are waiting to be found on the sourcehut project index. Browse projects

Hosted git repositories

Public, private, and "unlisted" repositories
Fine grained access control, including access for users without accounts
First-classMercurial support also available

We've completely migrated our repo hosting, both git and Mercurial, to SourceHut. The speed, functionality, integrations, and minimal-yet-friendly UI makes it easy to use and work with.

Powerful continuous integration

Runs fully virtualised builds on various Linux distros and BSDs
Submit ad-hoc jobs without pushing to your repository
Post-build triggers for email, webhooks, etc
Log in with SSH after build failures to investigate further

This CI experience is leagues ahead of all others. Resubmitting builds and SSH'ing in is saving me multiple hours.

— Andrew Kelley, author of the Zig programming language

Mailing lists & code review tools

Patch review tools on the web
Threaded, searchable mail archives
Tools for working with third party mailing lists
Powered bygit send-email

SourceHut mailing lists are the best thing since the invention of reviewing patches.

— Martijn Braam, postmarketOS developer

Focused ticket tracking

Actionable tasks only — no discussions, questions, or duplicates
Private bug reports and bug trackers for security issues
Participation via email, with or without an account

I think it is really convenient that you can send a plaintext email with your bug report, whether or not you have an account.

— Cadence Ember, author of Bibliogram

Hosted real-time chat services

Provides a hosted Internet Relay Chat bouncer
Connect with any IRC client, or use our web chat
Online and offline chat log management

I like that chat.sr.ht allows people to easily engage in their communities, while still betting on standards instead of building new walled gardens.
