Former GitHub chief Thomas Dohmke has launched Entire, a Git-compatible software forge designed for development shaped by coding agents. Its pitch is not just another place to store code: it aims to track what agents intend and preserve context between sessions, where the old workflow can start to creak.
Watch Desk analysis
What happened
Madrona’s announcement describes Entire as a GitHub competitor with decentralised hosting and two agent-focused features: Trails, which track intent, and continuous memory to maintain context across agent sessions.
Madrona says coding agents are producing software-development volume and complexity that strain traditional Git hosting and developer workflows. That is the case for building a different kind of forge; the supplied announcement does not provide performance comparisons or independent evidence of how widespread the strain is.
Why it matters
If coding agents are doing more of the work, the tools around a repository may need to record more than the final changes. Trails and session memory are Entire’s answer to the practical question of how teams follow an agent’s work and carry context forward. That could make the forge itself part of the agent workflow, rather than a passive cupboard for code.
It also puts a consequential challenge to established developer platforms: can they adapt their existing tools, or will agent-heavy teams want infrastructure designed around them from the outset? A launch is a start, not proof that the new approach works at scale, but this is a specific product bet worth watching.
Our read
Entire is making a clear argument about where software development is headed: agents need a better trail of their own. If Trails and continuous memory make work easier to inspect and resume, that would be more useful than adding an agent-shaped label to familiar Git hosting. The interesting test is whether developers find the new workflow valuable enough to move projects, not whether the feature names look good in a launch post.
What to watch
- Whether Entire shares access, pricing and a timetable for availability.
- How Trails records agent intent and what teams can inspect or change.
- Whether continuous memory works across sessions in real development workflows.
- How the platform compares with established Git hosting on compatibility and team adoption.
Discussion spark: Should coding-agent tools be built into a new kind of Git forge, or should established platforms add those features without asking teams to move?
