Rickub - The smartest Git hosting with AI code review
Show HN: Rickub – The Smartest Git in the Universe
Rickub is a hosted Git platform that combines repositories, merge requests, CI/CD, and a built-in AI reviewer called Athena. It runs GitHub Actions workflows unchanged, so migrating is as simple as a push. The platform includes an OCI container registry, Git LFS, releases, and a CLI, API, and MCP endpoint for agent contributions. Athena provides AI-powered code review on every merge request, with inline comments and intent markers to clarify what blocks a merge. Processed in the EU and never used for training, Rickub offers a fast, independent, and cost-effective alternative to GitHub and GitLab without compromising your data.
A reviewer you trigger on a merge request: a summary, inline notes where they belong, and a clear verdict. Included on every plan, processed in the EU, never used for training.

Don’t know about the backend, but site looks generated from aistudio.google.com or Gemini 3.8 flash.
I happened to be messing around with aistudio and site looks eerily similar.

I'm in favor of GitHub alternatives in general. When we looked at what moving or mirroring our repos off of GitHub would look like since their uptime has been falling, the real bottleneck was all the dependencies that still live there. If (when) GH has an outage and we NEED to deploy, we would have to be mirroring all of those dependencies in an accessible way to get a deploy out. In that (sort of) hypothetical situation, the lowest-tech hot fix would be a manual code-edit across servers.

I find these AI generated UXs so tiring to the eyes. Not sure if it's the ubiquity of them, the similarity or the excess of elements on the screen.
