Pushin.eu Launches European-Only Git Hosting Focused on Privacy and Reliability

Pushin.eu has introduced a Git hosting service designed to keep all repositories and related data strictly within the European Union. This approach aims to shield users from US legal frameworks such as the CLOUD Act and avoid foreign platform interference. The platform prioritizes compliance with GDPR and a privacy-first philosophy. Unlike many competitors, Pushin.eu does not utilize hosted code to train AI models, nor does it allow partners to do so. The service also actively blocks low-quality automated contributions that can overwhelm maintainers, focusing instead on supporting genuine developer workflows. The platform is built with an emphasis on availability, ensuring teams can access their repositories and collaborate at any time without downtime. It avoids adding AI features that do not contribute to stability or developer experience. To facilitate migration, Pushin.eu provides a command-line tool called pun, which enables users to import repositories from GitHub along with their full history, issues, pull requests, and comments. This import process runs locally, keeping authentication tokens secure. While the platform supports many GitHub API endpoints, users are advised to verify compatibility for large-scale migrations. Pushin.eu also offers a REST API compatible with GitHub's structure, allowing existing scripts to function with minimal changes. Developers can secure their accounts using two-factor authentication methods such as TOTP or passkeys. Repositories can be cloned using standard Git commands, ensuring users retain full access to their data and history. Although a one-click export for issues and pull requests is not yet available, it is planned for future updates. The service aims to make both onboarding and potential departure straightforward. By focusing on European jurisdiction, privacy, and reliability, Pushin.eu addresses growing concerns among developers and organizations about data sovereignty and the risks associated with US-based cloud services.
