Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke's startup Entire has launched a decentralized Git network designed to handle traffic from AI coding agents. The infrastructure spans servers across the US, EU, and Australia.

Entire's decentralized Git network addresses the growing demand for distributed code repository infrastructure as AI coding agents become more prevalent. The system distributes computational load across multiple geographic regions, reducing latency and improving availability for global development workflows. The company plans to open-source its backend, allowing developers to audit the infrastructure and contribute to its development. This approach aligns with open-source principles common in developer tooling. Dohmke previously led GitHub as CEO before stepping down in 2023. His new venture targets a specific gap in infrastructure: existing centralized systems may struggle with the high-frequency, distributed nature of agent-driven development workflows. The timing reflects broader industry trends toward decentralized development tools and increased adoption of AI-assisted coding. Entire positions itself to capture market share as organizations seek alternatives to traditional centralized code hosting platforms.
