Description
Brnch is code hosting for how we build now: you and your coding agents in the same repo. It's Git underneath (for now), so your tools still work. Each agent gets its own identity and works under you as its sponsor, so you can see exactly what it did, down to the line. Every merge is tested on the exact result that lands, not just the branch, and comes with a signed receipt anyone can verify. To start, tell your agent: "Set me up on Brnch: brnch.io"

Could you build this?
No Building an entirely new Git hosting platform with agent sandboxing, fine-grained identity sponsorships, automated merge verification, and reliable scale requires complex infrastructure and distributed systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires building a Git server protocol implementation (libgit2 or custom RPC over SSH/HTTP) backed by robust storage like AWS S3/Ceph. It demands an isolated container execution engine (Firecracker or gVisor) to run CI/CD merge verification for each agent push alongside IAM identity controls. Specialized systems engineering is required to handle high-concurrency Git packfile transactions and sandboxed execution safely.
