A new product from Basekick Labs, the creators of Arc

Code together. Keep ownership.

Basekick Git gives teams pull requests, code review, project discovery, and CI coordination while repositories and runners live where you choose.

Bring your storage and runners — or use ours. Change your mind later without changing how your team works.

  • Standard Git
  • Customer-owned storage
  • Bring-your-own or managed runners

INFRASTRUCTURE PLANE — YOUR CHOICE

Repository storage

CI runners

Collaboration above the line, infrastructure below it — and you choose who runs the bottom half.

The problem

Collaboration should not require surrendering custody.

Traditional code platforms combine two different things: the tools teams use to collaborate, and the infrastructure where their work is stored and executed. That makes collaboration convenient — but leaving difficult.

THE USUAL BUNDLE

One vendor holds both halves

  • Repositories live in the vendor’s account, not yours.

  • Builds run on the vendor’s machines, priced by the minute.

  • Leaving means an export, a migration, and a rewrite of everything automated.

BASEKICK GIT

The halves come apart

  • Repository objects sit in storage under your access policies and keys.

  • Builds run on machines you already operate, close to your dependencies.

  • Leaving means revoking our access — the repositories are already where they live.

Your code should outlive your code host.

Infrastructure choices

Bring yours or use ours.

Start with the setup that works for you today. Move infrastructure later without moving your team to another platform.

Where repositories live

YOUR STORAGE

Connect a bucket you control

S3Azure BlobS3-compatible

Connect an S3, Azure Blob, or compatible object-storage account you control. Repository data remains in your infrastructure, under your access policies, encryption keys, audit logs, and retention rules.

MANAGED STORAGE

Or start immediately

no setupmovable later

Let Basekick manage repository storage for you. Move repositories into your own cloud account when your security, scale, or compliance requirements change.

Where builds run

YOUR RUNNERS

Connect machines you already operate

KubernetesGPUsMac minisprivate network

Kubernetes clusters, cloud instances, GPUs, Mac minis, or servers inside your private network. Your builds run close to your dependencies and secrets.

MANAGED RUNNERS

Or provision nothing

per-jobpay per execution

Run builds without provisioning anything. Choose the machine you need and pay only for the execution you use.

Mix and match

Use customer-owned storage with managed runners. Keep repositories managed while running CI inside your network. Configure each organization or repository differently.

The infrastructure can change. Your Git URLs, pull requests, integrations, and developer identities stay familiar.

How it works

From bucket to repository, in five steps.

  1. 1

    Choose where repositories live

    Connect your cloud storage or select Basekick-managed storage.

  2. 2

    Create or import a repository

    Start fresh or bring an existing Git repository and its history.

  3. 3

    Collaborate normally

    Clone, push, create pull requests, review changes, protect branches, and require status checks using familiar Git workflows.

  4. 4

    Run builds anywhere

    Connect your own runners or select a managed runner when a job starts.

  5. 5

    Leave whenever you want

    Revoke Basekick’s access, recover a standard Git repository from your storage, and export your collaboration data.

    No hostage negotiation required.

Collaboration

Everything around Git, without taking Git away from you.

Pull requests

Discuss changes, inspect diffs, request reviews, and merge with confidence.

Inline code review

Leave comments where they matter and keep conversations connected to the exact revision being reviewed.

Branch protection

Require approvals, passing checks, signed commits, or specific reviewers before changes reach important branches.

Status checks

Connect existing CI systems or use Basekick runners. Keep the collaboration layer independent from the machine executing the work.

Activity and notifications

Follow the projects and people you care about without drowning in everything else.

Developer profiles

Build an identity around the work you create and contribute — not around the company currently storing its bytes.

Explore

Discover what developers are building right now.

git.basekick.net/explore is a chronological view of activity across public projects.

Find new repositories, releases, pull requests, contributors, and projects looking for help. No opaque algorithm deciding which developers deserve to be seen.

Only explicitly public activity appears in Explore. Repository owners control what gets published.

Ownership

Your repository is not a subscription benefit.

With customer-owned storage, your repository does not disappear because a plan changes, a payment fails, or Basekick goes away.

  • Repository objects live in storage you control.
  • Access can be revoked from your cloud account.
  • The storage format and recovery tooling will be documented at general availability.
  • Repositories can be reconstructed as standard Git repositories.
  • Collaboration metadata can be exported.
  • Runners can continue operating independently of managed compute.

Ownership is not a checkbox in an admin panel. It is the ability to continue without us.

Standard Git

Keep using Git.

Basekick Git works with the tools developers already have.

  • No replacement version-control system.

  • No proprietary local workspace.

  • No new mental model required for everyday development.

The same commands you already run
git clone https://git.basekick.net/acme/backend.git
cd backend
git checkout -b improve-api
git push -u origin improve-api

Private data plane

Stronger isolation when you need it.

For organizations with stricter security or compliance requirements, the Basekick Git data plane can run inside the customer's cloud environment.

Git operations, repository access, indexing, and code processing stay within the customer's security boundary while Basekick provides the collaboration experience.

Your network. Your keys. Your policies.

Trust

Built by Basekick Labs.

Basekick Labs creates infrastructure that remains useful even when you decide to leave.

Arc keeps telemetry in open Parquet files on storage you own. Basekick Git brings the same philosophy to source code and software collaboration.

Infrastructure should serve its users — not trap them.
