About
GitHits is an open-source-focused code search infrastructure startup spun out of Softlandia Venture Studio in late 2025 12. The company gives AI coding agents tools to find working examples of open-source implementations and inspect software components, including dependencies and vulnerabilities, with the stated goal of indexing all public open-source code 12. GitHits launched a free beta of its CLI tool on Product Hunt in June 2026, with a first commercial version planned for later in 2026 13.
