Pushin.eu launches EU-only Git hosting that blocks AI slop and never trains on your code
Git hosting that never leaves Europe
Pushin.eu is a new European Git hosting platform that keeps all repositories on EU soil—specifically on Scaleway bare-metal servers in Paris—so they're beyond the reach of the US CLOUD Act. The service blocks low-effort bot contributions ('slop') to protect maintainers, offers GitHub imports with full history and metadata, and mirrors for trying it out. It's invite-only during a free beta, with no AI features and a strict no-training policy.
We don't use your code to train models, and we don't let partners either — no exceptions, no fine print, no quiet opt-out buried in the terms.

Hi, Peter the Founder of Pushin.eu here. Sorry, the website escaped containment and landed on HN before I had the chance to update the "marketing materials" aka. landing page. So, here are a few points:
*The product is stable, but still in development. That's why some of the core things like pricing, etc. are missing. BUT:*
1. Business Model: Pushin will have subscriptions for individuals and teams. Pricing is not yet decided but it'll be close to GitHub/GitLab pricing.
2. Privacy: In true German fashion, we *don't* want your private data. Pushin doesn't track anything beyond the obvious: email, password hash, username, whatever information you put on your profile.
3. Roadmap: We're currently in Beta, but everything looks good so far. We'll probably go GA beginning of 2027. I'll focus on delivering the core features first and make sure that they are polished and of good quality before moving on to the nice-to-haves.
4. I say "we" but it's really only me (Peter Ullrich, peterullrich.com) and my dog (Bella, Labrador, beige). "We" are not VC funded, but bootstrapping on bare metal Scaleway servers. My wish is for this to become a proper company soon though.
5. Tech-stack: Elixir (Phoenix + LiveView) for most parts, Rust for the Git parts, S3-compatible buckets and Postgres on Scaleway, servers are bare metal Scaleway servers running in Paris.
6. Git implementation: Just like Tangled, I've used Rust and the gitoxide libraries to build a Git implementation that's fully compatible […]

A few observations:
- Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB, Lithuania. Hostinger-branded authoritative DNS servers run on Cloudflare’s network. This creates a dependency on a US company.
- IPv6 is not supported by the public website/Git endpoint.
- DNSSEC would be a great addition for security, especially due to the use of US-based Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt.

As a daily user of bitbucket, gitlab, and github, it's refreshing to see how insanely, extremely snappy this web ui is.
I hope all the best to succeed with this project, I'm sold!

Ooh, here come the others. I'm sure there's more people working on this same thing. Probably mostly a matter of how ready we are to release something. Nice to see it coming out of the Netherlands though.
I think the hardest part about working on the same thing is to not immediately post it when you see other products in the same space pop up.

Its specifically based in France. This matters as EU law is less uniform than US law (yes, like differences between states, but a lot more so).
The UI is a lot snappier than Github.
The promise not to train models on the code is not very useful for public repos, and I cannot see anything about private repos.

Nice idea, zero trust signals. Don't even see company details or the folks behind and no legal pages.

also fits the description of "Git hosting that never leaves Europe".

I think this maybe needs some more time, to figure out what the actual plan with this is - if any.
