Industries

Software companies: the history behind your code.

Tickets, code reviews and repositories capture how working software evolves and gets fixed. Customer data in tickets is replaced, and client owned code is reviewed first.

The first concern we hear

Client code

If you build software for clients, some of that code may belong to them and may need their permission. It depends on your contracts, so ask your own counsel. Client projects can stay out.

Customer data in tickets

Tickets and chat threads often name customers. Names, emails and account details become placeholders, and keys or credentials are taken out.

There is no cost to you, an NDA comes first, and nothing goes out before you approve a sample.

Questions

Questions from software companies

Does anyone get into our Git hosting?
No. Passwords and logins are never requested. The copy is prepared without handing over access to your tools.
Can one product stay out?
Yes. Any repository, product or time period can be excluded.
Does the code need to be open source?
No. Private repositories are the point. You pick which ones, and any secrets in them are removed.

Useful records

What usually proves useful

Not all of these are needed. One system kept in good order may be all it takes to start talking.

  • Repository history

    How a codebase grows, gets refactored and changes over years.

  • Pull request reviews

    What reviewers spot, push back on and sign off.

  • Tickets and bug reports

    How problems get reported, reproduced and closed.

  • Design docs and release notes

    Why systems are built the way they are.

Why AI labs want these records

Coding models improve by seeing how real teams review, break and repair code over years, not just finished snippets. Your commit history, reviews and tickets capture exactly this, which is why labs license them.
