GitWhy

The product is a git-based context engine that captures the prompts, reasoning, decisions and rejected alternatives behind AI-generated code and links them to the commits that produced them, making the why visible beyond the chat window and on pull requests. It is for software developers and engineering teams in business environments who use AI coding agents and need shared review of AI-generated changes. It is delivered as a cloud-synced SaaS with a terminal interface and MCP integration that works with multiple coding agents and posts context to PRs.
