Former GitHub CEO says git wasn't built for AI-authored code — and launches a rival to prove it

Version control was built for an era when one developer wrote one commit at a time. Dohmke.

His new company, Entire, launched Wednesday, pitches itself as a git hosting network designed from the ground up for "vibe coding," shorthand for AI-assisted development where a developer describes what they want and a model writes or rewrites the code. Dohmke announced the launch on X, framing the timing as the moment version control has to change because agents are doing most of the typing now.

A human committing a feature might produce a dozen file changes over an afternoon. An AI agent asked to refactor a service can produce hundreds of edits in seconds, often attributed to no one because the author is a model running inside someone else's IDE. Legacy git was designed to make those human changes legible: who changed what, why, and when. Entire's editorial pitch is that the layer needs new primitives, including agent-aware diffs, clearer commit attribution when the writer is a model, and sandboxes that can run before a human ever reviews the change.

Dohmke is not pitching this as a tweak to GitHub. Entire's home page and its founder blog frame the company as a direct competitor to the platform Dohmke himself ran for years. The framing matters: an insider critique of the incumbent carries more weight than another outside challenger, and it lands while GitHub is publicly buckling under the AI-coding load its own tools have created.

The Register's launch coverage notes the timing: GitHub has been struggling to absorb the compute demand that Copilot-style workflows now pile on it, with users complaining about slow pushes, queued CI, and the platform's own AI features competing with third-party agents for the same resources. Entire's argument is that the legacy stack was tuned for human cadence and is now being asked to run at agent cadence, and that mismatch is the opening for a challenger.

Entire is also signaling a developer-first posture that contrasts with the closed-platform era Dohmke helped consolidate at GitHub. Its reference implementation, entireio/forgemark on GitHub, lives on the very platform it wants to compete with. That is either a confidence play, building on top of git to beat the host at its own game, or a tactical hedge that keeps the company legible to the developers who would have to switch.

What the launch does not yet prove is whether agent-native version control is a real category or a repositioning of tools GitHub could ship itself. GitHub already has the relationship with every enterprise developer, the private repo footprint, and the Copilot distribution channel. Entire's bet is that the gap between what legacy git can represent about a commit and what an AI-authored commit actually is has widened past the point GitHub can close with a feature flag. The reference implementation suggests a platform play rather than a single-product story, but the company has not yet published pricing, enterprise controls, or a roadmap beyond the launch posts.

The next concrete trigger is whether the major AI-coding assistants, including Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and others, treat Entire as a first-class remote the same way they currently integrate with GitHub. Integration announcements would convert the founding narrative into actual agent traffic. Absence of them by the end of the summer would leave Entire as a thesis-stage company with a recognizable founder and a real problem to solve.
