At Syntevo, we’re not just building a Git client, we believe that Git should be accessible to everyone. Whether you’re writing code to teach the next generation, contributing to open source, or working on charitable initiatives - your work matters. And we want to support it.
That’s why, starting with SmartGit 25.1 (currently in Preview), we are offering SmartGit’s full feature set completely free of charge for:
- Academic users – students, schools, universities
- Open-source developers and projects
- Charitable organizations
What’s included?
You’ll get full access to the complete SmartGit feature set:
- Full “Standard Window” included
- Investigate (DeepGit), no extra license required
- On-Premise Server, supports various hosting providers
- Jenkins integration included
- TeamCity integration included
- Old versions expire after 2 years, but we will notify you well in advance
Why are we doing this?
At Syntevo, we benefit significantly from Open Source, hence we want to give something back to the community of active Open Source contributors. We also believe that high-quality education is the key for building a strong future. Last but not least, we value charitable initiatives that make a positive impact for humanity, animals, or the environment. That’s why we support all of these efforts with free licenses for SmartGit.
