About
GitHits gives coding agents access to the open-source code your app depends on. Get real implementation examples, dependency source navigation, package inspection and documentation. Agents can grep and read your codebase. They can't grep and read the open-source code your app depends on. That's where they start guessing, retrying, and looping. GitHits builds a version-aware index on demand. Agents can search, navigate, and inspect the code behind their dependencies. CLI: npx githits@latest init

FAQ

Software factories Individual developers Open-source maintainers
What does GitHits do?
GitHits is the infrastructure layer connecting agents to the open-source ecosystem. It lets the agents in your software factory, or your individual coding agent, discover packages, understand code and documentation, learn from real-world usage, and evaluate dependencies and upgrades. The tools are available through MCP, the CLI, and the API.
Does GitHits work with all open-source code or only published packages?
GitHits can search and navigate open-source repositories whether or not they are published as packages. Package-specific tools, such as dependency, vulnerability, license, changelog, and upgrade inspection, are available for supported package ecosystems.
How do I get started?
To get started, run npx -y githits@latest init . GitHits detects your coding tool, signs you in, and configures the MCP server automatically.
How does my agent know when to use GitHits?
GitHits is useful when a task calls for context from open-source code, documentation, or package data. Common cases include researching an integration, understanding how a library works, investigating version-specific behavior, checking a package, or finding prior art. During setup, the GitHits CLI wizard can install guidance that tells your agent when and how to use GitHits. You can also ask the agent to use GitHits explicitly.
How does the GitHits index work?
GitHits indexes open-source repositories, documentation, and package data by package version or repository ref. When an agent asks for a specific target, GitHits resolves it to the corresponding commit and makes that source queryable. The index records files, symbols, imports, call relationships, and documentation, so the agent can search and read the exact code it needs.
Does indexed source change over time?
Fixed package versions and commits remain tied to the same underlying source. GitHits may re-index them as its parsing and search improve, but the source itself does not change. Moving refs, such as branches and HEAD , follow the repository and update as it changes.
Why does GitHits use GitHub sign-in?
GitHits uses GitHub authentication to identify your account. Signing in does not give GitHits access to your private repositories.
