GitFlic is a proprietary developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage and share code, developed by ReSolut LLC.[1][2] Headquartered in Moscow, a stake in the company was acquired by Astra Group, developer of the widely deployed Astra Linux operating system.[3][4] It uses Git to provide distributed version control, as well as providing functionality for testing, static analysis and continuous integration. A package manager is also available.

The platform was developed as a Russian alternative to the American based GitHub, which is subject to US trade control laws.[5]

Gitflic is available in the cloud, self-hosted or provisioned to enterprise for large organizations.

History

[edit]

In June 2024, a collaboration between Astra Group and St Petersburg State University was announced, including Astra Linux powered machines as well as use of Gitflic for development and educational purposes.[6]

Notable repositories

[edit]

A notable project hosted on the site is Bypass Paywalls Clean, after the project was removed from GitLab and GitHub as a result of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requests.[7]

An enhanced fork of the popular Lightning Memory-Mapped Database known as libmdbx, primarily maintained by Russian developers was moved to GitFlic after being unilaterally removed from GitHub, as a result of US sanctions.[8]
