Entire Is building a Git network for agents (thenewstack.io)

Entire, a startup founded by former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke, is launching a distributed Git network designed to alleviate the burden on central servers from the increasing number of AI coding agents and developers. By allowing users to mirror existing GitHub repositories to Entire’s infrastructure, the platform aims to enhance performance and reliability, enabling seamless interactions such as pushing and pulling code without the rate limits and latency that often plague centralized systems like GitHub. Initial active regions include the U.S., the EU, and Australia, with plans for expansion. What sets Entire apart technically is its decision to build a custom Git backend from scratch, which reportedly achieves performance benchmarks over 25 times faster than GitHub’s infrastructure, sustaining impressive rates of clones and pushes. This innovative approach comes at a critical time as network traffic surges from billions of agents, creating demand for robust, decentralized solutions. Entire plans to open-source its technology, further emphasizing its commitment to community collaboration while developing complementary services, including a semantic memory layer that records coding sessions. This evolution positions Entire not just as a competitor but as a potential partner to existing platforms, offering a layered ecosystem that could redefine how developers interact with Git across distributed environments.
