You own your source code and every artefact it produces, whether you self-host or we host it for you. A complete Git platform with pull requests, CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, wiki, package registries, and built-in security scanning. We never access, mine, or sell your code.
Deploy on bare metal, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud VMs, virtual environments, air-gapped networks, or SinonTech-hosted. Zero vendor lock-in.
Native SinonForge clients. The macOS and Linux desktop apps are available now in alpha; Windows, iOS and Android are on the way. Contact us to join the alpha.
Everything your development team needs (from code to production) in a single platform you control.

A complete software development lifecycle platform, not just a Git server.
Git Smart HTTP and SSH, file browser with blame view, fork/star/watch, language detection, configurable storage backends (local, NFS, S3), and branch protection rules.
Inline code comments, formal review workflow (approve, request changes, comment), three merge strategies (merge commit, squash, rebase), conflict detection, and review assignments.
YAML-based workflows with a built-in Docker CI runner. Triggers on push, pull request, schedule, or manual dispatch. Live job logs, artifact storage, and pipeline visualisation.
Full issue lifecycle with labels, milestones, assignees, comments with emoji reactions, issue locking, and timeline events. Kanban boards with drag-and-drop linked to issues and PRs.
Git-backed wiki supporting Markdown, AsciiDoc, and reStructuredText. Full version history, integrated permissions, and cross-linking between wikis and repositories.
Multi-format package storage for npm, Docker, PyPI, and Maven artifacts, with version management and download tracking, per repository or organisation. Native registry protocols (npm install, docker pull, pip, mvn) are coming soon.
Static application security testing (SAST), secret detection, and dependency vulnerability scanning. Vulnerability dashboard, security scan automation, and dependency graph visualisation.
Per-repository webhook configuration with event filtering, HMAC signing, and delivery history. Integrate with CI systems, chat tools, or any external service.
Contribution calendar, commit activity, code frequency, traffic statistics, per-contributor stats, and repository-level health metrics.
Beyond core Git hosting, SinonForge ships with features typically reserved for enterprise-tier cloud platforms.
Public and private code sharing with multi-file support, starring, and forking. Syntax-highlighted with CodeMirror 6.
Static site hosting directly from repository content. Custom domains, HTTPS, and automatic deployments from branches.
Search across repositories, code, issues, and users with qualifiers and advanced filtering. Fast and responsive across large codebases.
In-app notification centre with real-time WebSocket delivery. Types include mentions, assignments, review requests, subscriptions, and CI results.
Role-based access control, team hierarchies, team-level repository permissions, and organisational settings.
Enterprise authentication support: OAuth2 providers, SAML 2.0 SSO, and LDAP/Active Directory integration.
SinonForge adapts to your organisation, not the other way around.
Full multi-tenant support with organisations, per-tenant storage limits, and isolated repositories. Each tenant gets their own namespace, users, and permissions hierarchy.
Customise logos, colours, and branding per tenant. Host SinonForge under your own domain and present it as your internal platform.
Choose your repository storage backend: local filesystem, NFS mounts, or S3-compatible object storage. Switch backends without data loss.
Choose the deployment model that fits your infrastructure. All six are production-ready with included scripts, Helm charts, and documentation.
Direct install on Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, Rocky, or Alma. Automated script handles PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, TLS, and systemd services.
Minimal and full profiles with health checks, volume mounts, and environment configuration. Single-command deployment.
Production-ready Helm chart with high-availability mode, autoscaling, and Ingress configuration. Supports managed and self-hosted clusters.
Deploy on AWS EC2, Azure VMs, GCP Compute, or any cloud provider. Same scripts as bare metal with cloud-specific optimisations.
VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, or KVM. Export OVA templates or use the bare metal installer inside your virtualisation stack.
Fully offline installation with pre-packaged Python wheels, pip dependencies, and a built-in CI runner. No internet connectivity required.
Your source code is your most valuable intellectual property. You should own it completely, regardless of who hosts it.
Whether you self-host or let SinonTech host it for you, you own 100% of your repositories, CI secrets, and deployment artefacts. We never access, read, or mine your code. Full compliance with data residency requirements.
Standard Git protocol. Migrate to or from SinonForge at any time with git remote. Export, move, or delete everything whenever you want. No proprietary formats, no export fees, no surprises.
Full audit trail of every push, merge, and permission change. Meet SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR requirements with logging and retention policies you define, regardless of deployment model.
