About HitMeUp for GitHub - GitHub Messaging & Collaboration
GitHub is where developers work. Your conversations should be there too.
HitMeUp brings messaging and collaboration directly into GitHub, so you can communicate with developers without constantly switching between GitHub and another platform.
Whether you're working on an open-source project, collaborating with teammates, discussing a repository, or simply want to reach another developer, HitMeUp keeps the conversation close to the work.
💬 What you can do with HitMeUp
💬 Message GitHub developers
Send and receive private messages directly through GitHub profiles. Connect with developers without needing to leave the platform where you already work.
🤝 Collaborate around repositories
Create conversations connected to repositories and bring the people working on the same project into one place.
📎 Share code and files
Share code snippets, files, and other useful resources directly through your conversations.
⚙️ Built for developers
HitMeUp is designed around the GitHub workflow. Instead of moving between GitHub, messaging apps, and other communication tools, keep your developer conversations where your work already happens.
🔒 Privacy-focused messaging
HitMeUp uses end-to-end encryption for private conversations, helping keep your messages protected between participants.
🚀 Why HitMeUp?
Developers already spend a huge amount of time on GitHub. Moving to another application every time you need to ask a question, contact a contributor, or discuss a project creates unnecessary context switching.
HitMeUp is built around a simple idea:
⚡ Less jumping between apps. More time doing the work.
🌍 Built for the GitHub community
Whether you're an open-source contributor, student, indie developer, researcher, or part of a development team, HitMeUp is designed to make communication around GitHub projects easier.
We're continuously developing HitMeUp and adding features based on feedback from the developer community.
👉 Try HitMeUp and keep your conversations where your code lives.
