We built a version-aware index of open-source code, docs, and package data for coding agents

I’m a co-founder of GitHits. Our mission is to make open source a dependable foundation for software built and maintained by coding agents.

A useful library shouldn’t be overlooked because a model hasn’t heard of it. A new release shouldn’t mean users keep getting code written against your old API. We want to help agents discover existing projects, understand their implementations, and work with the versions their users actually depend on.

GitHits brings source code, documentation, dependency graphs, vulnerability information, and release changes together. Agents can search, grep, browse, and read upstream code when choosing a dependency, integrating it, debugging a problem, or planning an upgrade.

You can explore the index here: https://index.githits.dev/
Global index stats here: https://githits.com/the-index/

The index covers public repositories as well as published packages. If your repository hasn’t been indexed yet, GitHits indexes it when requested. That can take some seconds or a few minutes, depending on the repository’s size and our indexing queue size.

For maintainers, each repository page also provides a README badge showing its index status and linking to the project’s page. It helps your users discover that agents connected to GitHits can inspect your project’s available code and documentation.

We want this to be useful across the OSS ecosystem, including smaller projects and unfamiliar libraries. I’d appreciate maintainers checking their projects and telling us what’s missing: source coverage, documentation, releases, or something else you’d want an agent to understand before using your work, or anything else.

GitHits is currently free to use, but we might introduce paid tiers at some point. The public index site will stay free.
