Why it matters

As AI agents become capable of autonomous code generation and management, the underlying version control and collaboration infrastructure needs to evolve. This startup is positioning itself as the foundational layer for an agentic development workflow, which could reshape how teams coordinate code at scale.

The key facts

5 to know

  1. GitHub former CEO launching new startup

  2. Distributed Git network infrastructure

  3. Purpose-built for agentic coding workflows

  4. Focus on infrastructure for AI agents rather than agent capabilities themselves

  5. Targets future where coding agents are primary users of version control
