GitGres is a reimplementation of core GitHub functionality using PostgreSQL as the storage backend for all git objects, pull requests, issues, and more. It offers a self-hosted, tunable alternative for teams needing custom cost, latency, or consistency trade-offs, represented in a remarkably small codebase of 650 lines of Rust.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
