SourceHut is a software development platform that brings together source code hosting, continuous integration, issue tracking, code review and project documentation.
Rather than combining everything into a single application, SourceHut is organised into separate services that work together. Developers can use the facilities they need without adopting the entire platform.
SourceHut emphasises email-based collaboration and established development tools. Code reviews use patches distributed through mailing lists rather than conventional pull requests. The web interfaces are lightweight and function without JavaScript.
The platform can be used through the hosted service or deployed on infrastructure controlled by the user.
This is free and open source software.
