Rickub: Smart Git Platform for Code Review and CI

Hacker News •
×

Rickub is a hosted Git platform offering code review, CI, and OCI registry features, positioned as faster, independent, and cheaper than GitHub and GitLab without compromising data. It provides a full workflow from first push to hundredth release, including repositories, orgs, teams, role-based access, merge requests, inline review with intent markers, and built-in CI/CD via Athena AI review. The platform supports Git LFS, releases, container images, Helm charts, SBOMs, and WASM artifacts under a unified namespace and permission model.

Rickub CLI, API, and MCP agents enable agent-driven workflows with the same token and permissions as Git remotes. Embedded test reports appear in every run, showing totals, per-suite timings, and failing test outputs. Athena AI review delivers summary, inline notes, and clear verdicts on merge requests, processed in the EU and never used for training.

Users can get started free by creating an account, pushing a repository, and inviting their team.
