Plain for engineers.
Plain is built around the repository, not bolted on beside it. Real git over SSH, pull requests that are conversations, pipelines written in TypeScript, and an npm-compatible registry, all sharing one graph with your issues, docs, and chat. The context you keep losing between tools is already linked.
// The day today
Your tools don't know about your code.
The ticket is in Linear, the spec is in Notion, the decision is three scrolls up a Slack thread, and CI is a separate vendor with its own YAML. Every link between them is an integration you maintain, and every handoff is where context goes to die. You spend the morning reassembling state that the tools threw away overnight.
// What you get
The platform from your seat.
- Code that behaves like code
- Standard git clone, push, and fetch with no wrapper. Pull requests carry their own chat, reviews record an explicit approve or request-changes, and jump-to-definition and symbol search work across every repo in the org.
- Pipelines in TypeScript, not YAML
- Workflows are real TypeScript, so a typo is a compile error and control flow is native if, for, and try. Runs happen in ephemeral, Docker-capable microVMs, and publish tokens mint per run and expire in minutes.
- A registry that ships with the platform
- Every org gets an npm-compatible registry with content-addressed, deduplicated storage and immutable versions. npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun all work unchanged, with granular, short-lived publish tokens.
- One graph, not seven integrations
- An issue links natively to the commit, the PR, the doc, and the chat thread because they are rows in the same database. Status is read from reality instead of typed into a tracker on a Friday.
// Agents
A teammate for the work you keep putting off.
Agents read and write code, issues, docs, and chat through the same secure tools you use. Point one at the backlog to triage it, at a PR to review it, or at a dependency bump nobody wants to do. They propose; you approve. Nothing merges itself.
- Agents review PRs, triage issues, and open changes of their own
- Humans approve what matters: agents can't merge their own work or act unattributed
- Every run has a budget it can't exceed and a replayable, step-by-step audit trail
// Where you'll live
The surfaces that matter to you.
All seven surfaces share one graph, one search index, and one permission model. These are the ones engineers tend to live in day to day.
- Code
- CI / CD
- Packages
- Issues
- Chat
// FAQ
Common questions.
- Is this real git or a wrapper?
- Real git over SSH. You clone, push, and fetch exactly as you do today, with branch protection enforced at the git layer rather than in a UI on top.
- Do I have to rewrite my CI?
- Pipelines are written in TypeScript instead of YAML, so they are rewritten rather than imported. Most teams find the rewrite shrinks the file, because the workarounds a config language forced on them turn into ordinary code.
- Can I bring my existing repositories?
- Yes. Repositories are plain git, so you push your existing history to Plain and keep every commit, branch, and tag. You can mirror from another host while you migrate.
