Focused and independent GitHub alternative
Codebahn is fast, no-nonsense Git and CI. No bloat. Code, review, merge, ship. Open source foundations, easy to leave. Made and hosted in the EU. 🇪🇺
Why use Codebahn?
- ✓
Less surface, faster work
Repos, builds, issues, registries. No project boards, no marketplace. We left out the rest on purpose.
- ✓
Built for developers, not copilots
AI agents work with Codebahn over standard protocols. But the UI, the workflow, and the roadmap are shaped around the person writing code.
- ✓
Capacity pricing, not per-seat
Tiers based on storage and compute, not headcount. Invite the team, the contractor, the agent. Adding a user never moves the bill.
- ✓
EU-hosted, no asterisks
Swedish company. Scaleway (France). Hetzner (Germany). Every sub-processor EU-incorporated. Not "EU region on a US cloud."
- ✓
Built on open source
Forgejo is GPL-3.0. Your data exports in standard format, any time. Easy to leave because the format is open and the upstream is free.
- ✓
Independent and staying that way
Bootstrapped. No investors. No acquisition waiting to change your terms. The people building Codebahn are the people answering your email.
It's time to leave GitHub
GitHub is bloated, expensive per seat, and governed by US law no matter where you host. Codebahn is a focused, independent alternative that is easy to leave.
Less surface, faster work
Codebahn is simple Git hosting. Less surface means easy to use, fast, and secure.
EU-hosted, no asterisks
Codebahn is EU-hosted Git with no US entity in the chain. Hackerman AB (Sweden), Scaleway (France), Hetzner (Germany). Every sub-processor is EU-incorporated. Your security questionnaires about CLOUD Act exposure get a clean, one-line answer.
Open source foundations, easy to leave
Codebahn is built on Forgejo, community-governed free software. Your data exports in standard format, one click, any time. If we disappear, you stand up a Forgejo on Hetzner in an hour and import the export. Your code is always yours.
