If you're a Christian developer who's ever felt uneasy about where your code lives, GitHaven offers a refreshing alternative. Built and hosted by Shiloh — a team of open-source enthusiasts on a mission to reform technology in Jesus' name — GitHaven provides a free, secure Git service where you can host repositories, collaborate on projects, and manage your code without compromise.^1
Under the hood, GitHaven runs on a customized fork of Gitea, a proven open-source Git platform, giving you a familiar experience if you've used GitHub or GitLab.^2 You get robust version control, issue tracking, pull requests, and all the collaboration tools developers expect — just hosted by brothers and sisters in Christ who share your values.
What sets GitHaven apart is its emphasis on unrestricted collaboration for faith-driven developers. The platform is designed so you can express your faith freely and work alongside like-minded builders without worrying about content policies that might conflict with biblical convictions.^1 Migration from GitHub or GitLab is straightforward, and GitHaven integrates with popular development workflows you're already using.
Shiloh operates on their SOUL principles: Serve our Lord with integrity, Own our tech through open-source and self-hosting, Unveil with light, and Leave a legacy.^3 Their broader ecosystem includes services like Last Hour Hosting and Remnant Chat, all reflecting a commitment to building Christ-honoring technology infrastructure.
The GitHaven source code is fully open — you can inspect, fork, and contribute to the platform itself right from the service.^2 For developers, ministries, or churches looking for a Git hosting solution run by people who love Jesus and take privacy seriously, GitHaven is a solid, no-cost option.
