GitHub

GitHub, Inc., owned by Microsoft Corporation since 2018 · source control

Records the history of every change to the source code, merges parallel lines of work, and attaches review, issue and deployment to the same change. Without this layer nobody reliably knows which version is running, or who changed what and why.

GitLab

GitLab Inc. (Nasdaq: GTLB) · source control

Records the history of every change to the source code and brings review, issue, build run, security scanning and deployment into one system. The difference from the competitor is not in that list but in the fact that the core is open source and you are allowed to run it yourself.

Linear

Linear Orbit, Inc. · product and work management

Keeps a product team's issues, tasks and projects in one place and exposes them through an API in machine-readable form, so coding agents can work from structured tickets instead of prose buried in chat threads.
