One platform for developer marketing — from brief to conversation
GitHands carries you from a one-line brief to a qualified developer audience and a personalized first message. Every step works on public open-source activity, and everything stays exportable and yours.
Start free
Six steps, one workflow - here is what GitHands does at each one:
Discover
- Start from a keyword or a plain-English brief.
- Find related projects through search, star overlap and topic chains.
- Mine curated Awesome lists — the list itself and every project it links to.
Extract & enrich
- Extract every stargazer and forker of a public repository, with resumable jobs.
- Detect each developer’s tech stack from package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml and requirements.txt.
- Add timezone and contact emails from public commit history, each with a confidence score.
- Deduplicate, tag and export your audience to CSV or JSON.
Segment & score
- Describe a segment in plain English and GitHands builds the filter.
- Engagement scoring from 0 to 100, in four tiers.
- Intent scoring from recent stars, commits, dependency changes and project overlap.
AI workspace
- Chat with your audience data: ask who to reach and why.
- Choose the AI model, or bring your own API key.
- Conversation memory, so context carries across sessions.
Engage
- AI-written, personalized templates grounded in each developer’s real work.
- A template marketplace to start from proven messages.
- Connect Resend, SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun or your own SMTP for sending.
- Suppression lists, bounce handling and CAN-SPAM / GDPR tooling built in.
Integrate
- Sync with HubSpot and Salesforce, and get alerts in Slack.
- A REST API with an OpenAPI specification.
- The githands CLI, with 30+ command groups for scripts and CI.
- An MCP server with 40+ tools for Claude, Cursor and other AI assistants.
Cloud or self-hosted
