GitHub alternative in the EU
gittan.eu replaces GitHub for teams that want EU data residency, per-org pricing, and a pipeline that runs before code lands — not after.
| GitHub Enterprise | gittan.eu | |
|---|---|---|
| Code review | Pull requests | Gated pipeline (no PRs) |
| Pricing | $21/user/mo | Per org, from €9/mo |
| Add 10 developers | +$210/mo | €0 |
| SSO | Enterprise ($21/user) | Every plan |
| Security scanning | Dependabot alerts and security update PRs (free) Secret Protection +$19/active committer Code Security +$30/active committer | Included on every paid plan |
| Pipeline start | Fresh VM per run | <1s (warm runners, parallel steps) |
| Data hosting | US or EU (Azure) | EU only (Paris & Amsterdam) |
| CLOUD Act exposure | Yes (Microsoft, US company) | No — your code and repository data have no CLOUD Act exposure |
| Supply chain provenance | SLSA Build L2 (artifact attestations) | SLSA Build L2 (automatic on every image) |
| Org-level policies | Team+ (Repository rules) | All paid plans |

Why teams switch from GitHub
Per-seat adds up fast. GitHub Enterprise charges $21 per user. Add Secret Protection and it is $40 per active committer. At 30 developers that is $1200/month. gittan.eu charges per org, not per head — adding developers costs nothing.
PRs add ceremony, not safety. Research shows code review mainly spreads knowledge and rarely catches defects (Bacchelli & Bird, ICSE 2013), and that external approvals do not lower change failure rates but do slow delivery (Forsgren, Humble & Kim, Accelerate, 2018). gittan.eu replaces the PR queue with gated pipelines: push to main, the pipeline runs inline, and you see the result in your terminal.
CLOUD Act is the real risk. GitHub Enterprise Cloud now offers EU data storage, but GitHub is owned by Microsoft — a US company subject to the CLOUD Act regardless of where data is stored. gittan.eu is operated by a Swedish company on European-owned infrastructure in Paris and Amsterdam. Your code and repository data have no CLOUD Act exposure.
