The Pushin.eu page presents European Git hosting with public and private repositories hosted in the EU. The page describes imports from GitHub, repository mirroring, and the REST API.

Importing from GitHub transfers the full Git history, labels, and issues. It also transfers closed and merged pull requests with comments, original numbers, timestamps, and author information.

Open pull requests are not transferred during import. Instead of importing, users can set up one-way mirroring, with GitHub remaining the source of truth.

The REST API is available at /api/v1, and its endpoints follow GitHub’s formats. Registration is by invitation only, but anyone can read the code in public repositories without an account.

Claim check:

  • The Pushin.eu page presents European Git hosting with public and private repositories hosted in the EU. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «Public and private Git repos, hosted 100% in the EU, on a platform built for humans, not AI.»)
  • Pushin.eu says it blocks low-quality automated contributions and does not use users’ code to train models. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «We block slop, never use your code to train models, and focus on availability, not shiny AI features.»)
  • Importing from GitHub transfers the full Git history, labels, issues, and closed or merged pull requests with comments, original numbers, timestamps, and author information. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «A GitHub import brings the full git history along with labels, issues, and closed and merged pull requests with their conversation comments — original numbers, timestamps and author attribution all intact.»)
  • Open pull requests are not transferred during import; capabilities that are not yet implemented include rebase merge, Git LFS, webhooks, and status checks. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «Open pull requests stay behind; closed and merged ones arrive as history. And these aren’t built yet: rebase merge, Git LFS, webhooks and status checks, releases and packages, CODEOWNERS routing, milestones, required reviewers, repo-scoped deploy keys, cross-references between issues and pull requests, discussions, org-wide search, and tag protection.»)
  • Instead of importing, users can set up one-way mirroring of a GitHub repository to Pushin.eu, with GitHub remaining the source of truth. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «Mirror instead of importing. A mirror is a one-way sync from a GitHub repository into Pushin.eu: GitHub stays your source of truth and the mirror follows along.»)
  • The service provides a REST API at /api/v1 with endpoints in GitHub’s formats, so most GitHub scripts only need a different base URL. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «There’s a REST API at /api/v1 whose endpoints take the same shapes GitHub’s do, so most scripts written against GitHub need nothing more than a new base URL.»)
  • Registration at Pushin.eu is by invitation only, but anyone can read the code in public repositories without an account. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «Sign-up is invite-only. Every member gets a small number of invitation codes to pass on, so you’ll need one from someone already here. You don’t need an account to read code, though — Explore lists every public repository on the platform.»)
  • During beta testing, hosting is free for both public and private repositories; paid plans will appear later, but their details have not yet been defined. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «Nothing during the beta, for public and private repositories alike. There will be paid plans eventually; we haven’t settled what they look like, so we’d rather not put a number here that changes on you later.»)
  • Pushin.eu says it hosts code on Scaleway bare-metal servers in Paris and does not use failover to regions in the US. (confirmed by the publication itself: evidence; «On bare-metal servers we run at Scaleway in Paris, France — a French company, French datacenters, European jurisdiction the whole way down. Nothing fails over to a US region, so there’s no CLOUD Act surface to reach for.»)
