About

GitGud.io is a free and fast Git hosting service built on GitLab and operated by Sapphire. It provides a developer-focused platform for hosting repositories, collaborating on code, and managing projects with a strong emphasis on privacy, reliability, and direct support.

The service is designed for teams and individual developers who want a self-hosted GitLab experience without usage-based pricing. It includes core source control workflows along with adjacent project and delivery features that support modern software development.

  • Unlimited private repositories and no stated repo size limit
  • GitLab Pages for free static site hosting with custom domains
  • Free shared CI runner access on request
  • Container registry on a dedicated domain
  • Issue boards, wikis, snippets, service desk tickets, and package repositories
  • No tracking, no user analytics, and no external IP logging

GitGud.io is positioned as a long-running, community-oriented Git platform with direct administrator support and infrastructure tuned for performance and uptime.

Free Tier Value

Credit card Required
Feature parity 100%

GitGud.io is explicitly described as “Totally free” with “No repo size or quantity limits” and “Unlimited private repositories,” so the free tier is unbounded rather than a capped intro/free-trial/credit offer. The page does not present any paid plans or pricing table, and there are no concrete credit or trial amounts to convert. I did not mark no_cc_required because the page routes users to sign up via Sapphire Accounts and does not explicitly state that no credit card is required.
