Open source thrives on contributions — but contributing publicly means exposing your name, your email, your activity history, your timezone, and sometimes even your employer.
For many developers, that’s not just uncomfortable — it’s risky.
gitGost solves that problem.
It lets you contribute to any public GitHub repository completely anonymously, with zero accounts, zero tokens, and zero exposed metadata. Just add a remote, push, and your pull request appears instantly from a neutral bot — with no link back to you.
This is privacy for developers, done right.
👻 What is gitGost?
gitGost is an open-source service (powered by Go and licensed under AGPL-3.0) that anonymizes your Git commits and opens pull requests on your behalf.
Just pure, frictionless, anonymous contributions.
“Your commit history shouldn’t be an HR liability forever.”
🚀 How It Works (One-liner Demo)
# Add as remote → fix → push → done. Fully anonymous.
git remote add gost https://gitgost.leapcell.app/v1/gh/torvalds/linux
git checkout -b fix-typo
git commit -am "fix: obvious typo in README"
git push gost fix-typo:main
# → PR opened as @gitghost-anonymous with zero trace to you
That’s literally it.
gitGost strips your name, email, timestamps, author info, and any metadata that could identify you.
