Create your org

Set up your organization, invite your team, and optionally connect your identity provider.

What an org is

An org is your top-level container. Everything in gittan lives under it — teams, repos, pipelines, secrets, and policies. Your org name becomes your namespace:

git.gittan.eu/your-org/your-repo.git
npm.gittan.eu/your-org/
images.gittan.eu/your-org/your-image

Choose a short, lowercase name with hyphens — the same way you would name a GitHub organization. It cannot be changed later.

Sign up and create

  1. Go to gittan.eu and sign in with your email. You will receive a 6-digit code — no password needed.
  2. Click Create organization and pick a name.
  3. You are now the org owner. Owners can manage teams, repos, authentication, billing, and secrets.

Invite your team

Go to Admin > Members and invite people by email. They will receive a sign-in link and can start using the org immediately.

Assign members to teams to control repo access. You can create teams first and invite later, or invite first and assign later.

See Teams & repos for the full team and permission model.

Optional: connect your IdP

By default everyone signs in with email OTP. If you want single sign-on through your identity provider (Entra, Google, Okta, etc.):

  1. Go to Admin > Authentication.
  2. Enter your IdP’s issuer URL, client ID, and client secret.
  3. Save — gittan verifies the issuer before saving.

OIDC is included on every plan. See the full setup guide with provider-specific instructions at People.
