The Solution

# Your agent can read your repo. GitHits lets it inspect the packages behind it.

GitHits is the code context layer for AI coding agents. It gives agents access to public open-source code, documentation, and package data outside their local repository.

A GitHits query identifies a package, repository, version, or ref. For a fixed version, GitHits maps it to a source commit and retrieves the code and documentation attached to that version.

When an agent reaches an unfamiliar API or dependency behavior, it can query GitHits from the coding tool it already uses. It can search for a symbol, read an exact file, inspect release changes, or find prior art in other public projects.

The results include the package version, repository, and source location. The agent can check what the dependency does instead of relying on a remembered API or documentation for another release.

GitHits complements the agent’s access to your local repository. It provides public open-source context without requiring access to your private source.
