</> What is GitMesh?

_{Click the video above to watch demo!}

GitMesh is a Git collaboration network designed to solve open source's biggest challenge: contributor dropout. Our AI-powered platform provides real-time branch-level insights, intelligent contributor-task matching, and automated workflows. It transforms complex codebases into clear, guided contribution journeys—fueling engagement with gamified rewards, bounties, and integration with popular open source support programs.

Our mascot (Meshy/Mesh Wolf) reflects GitMesh’s core: agile, resilient, and unstoppable together. Like a pack, we thrive on teamwork — efficient, and powerful in unison.
