Thomas Dohmke Revolutionizes Coding with Entire, a Distributed Git

A New Era for Software Development

Thomas Dohmke, former CEO of GitHub, is embarking on a new technological adventure with the launch of Entire, a platform that aims to be an innovative alternative to GitHub. Entire presents itself as a distributed Git network, designed to address the challenges posed by the rise of vibe coding and the increasing use of coding agents. In light of GitHub's repeated outages, Entire offers a decentralized solution that could appeal to developers in search of reliability.

GitHub's Challenges in the Face of Vibe Coding

GitHub, a central platform for developers, has recently faced frequent interruptions. These outages are partly due to the rise of vibe coding, a phenomenon where automated coding agents are taking on an increasingly significant role. These agents, which require robust infrastructure, have put a strain on GitHub's centralized servers based in the United States. As GitHub strives to adapt, the question of its ability to keep pace remains uncertain.

Entire: A Decentralized Solution

Available in preview since Wednesday, Entire offers a distributed Git network that allows developers to host their repositories from multiple locations around the world. This decentralized model aims to spread risks and enhance speed and user experience. Entire is compatible with popular coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, and stores session data alongside the code.

Features and Performance of Entire

One of Entire's standout features is its ability to mirror an existing GitHub repository in a single step. This allows developers to continue using GitHub while benefiting from the speed and resilience of Entire. In terms of performance, Entire has demonstrated its capacity to handle around 570,000 clones per hour, simulating "shallow-cloning" operations from European cities like Frankfurt, London, Paris, and Dublin in just 3 minutes. Additionally, Entire's Git Push feature enables 586 pushes per second, or approximately 2.1 million per hour.

Comparison with Competitors

Entire positions itself as a leader in terms of performance, surpassing competing platforms like Cursor Origin, which recently announced a capacity of 81,360 pushes per hour. According to a representative from Entire, the platform is designed to handle swarms of agents, allowing for code push and pull operations at speeds up to 25 times faster than its competitors.

A Platform Suited for Agentic Coding

Entire does not just offer a decentralized infrastructure. It also integrates a semantic memory layer that captures agent errors and provides developers with better visibility into the code generated by these agents. With tools like Blame and Review, Entire enables users to identify who modified a line of code and why, while encouraging agents to reflect on their actions.

Towards Total Decentralization

The company plans to expand its capabilities by allowing developers to natively host new repositories, both public and private. Entire aims to fully decentralize its network, thereby offering data residency and regional sovereignty.

How to Access Entire

Entire has servers in the United States, the EU, and Australia, accessible to all developers. They can join the waiting list to test the platform. However, it is important to note that, like any venture capital-backed platform, there is an inherent risk related to the sustainability of funding and the potential shutdown of the service.
