gitGost provides strong anonymity features, but not perfect anonymity. See the Threat Model for details.

Key Features

Total Anonymity

Strips author name, email, timestamps, and all identifying metadata. PRs created by neutral @gitgost-anonymous bot.

One-Command Setup

Just git remote add gost <url> – no accounts, tokens, or browser extensions required.

Battle-tested Security

Rate limiting, repository size caps, commit validation. Written in pure Go with minimal dependencies.

Works Everywhere

Terminal, CI/CD, Docker, scripts – any public GitHub repo, anywhere Git runs.

Why developers love gitGost

Your commit history shouldn’t be an HR liability forever. gitGost lets you contribute without creating a permanent association with your identity.
Employer or country doesn’t like it? No problem. gitGost removes the risk of contributing to projects that may conflict with policies or create personal risk.
Public commits expose your email to scrapers and bad actors. gitGost prevents email harvesting from commit metadata.
Fix that one annoying typo without attaching your name for eternity. Small contributions shouldn’t require long-term identity exposure.
