Gitness

Gitness is an open-source developer platform by Harness that combines code hosting, CI/CD pipelines, and artifact registries in a single lightweight application. Built with Go and embedded SQLite, it requires no external database.

Features

• Git-based code hosting with pull requests and code reviews
• Built-in CI/CD pipelines with YAML configuration
• Artifact registries for Docker images and packages
• Branch protection rules and merge strategies
• Web-based code editor and file browser
• Webhook support for third-party integrations
• User and permission management
• Embedded SQLite database (no external database required)

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Open your domain — register the admin account on first launch
2. Create repositories — push existing code or start new projects with Git
3. Set up pipelines — define CI/CD workflows in .harness/ YAML files within your repo
4. Configure artifact registries — store and manage Docker images and packages
5. Collaborate — open pull requests, perform code reviews, and manage branch protections
