Git project and GSoC 2026

Hi everyone,

The application period for mentoring organizations to participate in GSoC 2026 is from January 19 to February 3. Let's try to anticipate a bit and decide soon if the Git project wants to participate.

If we want to participate, we need (co-)mentors, org-admins, projects and micro-projects ideas, and we need to update existing pages or create new ones on the Git Developer Pages (git.github.io) website (or on git-scm.org if we want to switch this to it now). Please chime in if you are interested.

About (co-)mentors and org-admins, Karthik, Justin, Siddharth and me have already expressed their interest in (co-)mentoring in internal GitLab discussions. I am willing to be an org-admin too.

The Git team at GitLab is also willing to manage Slack discussions channels for (co-)mentors, org-admins and helpers, and then for accepted contributors too, in the same way as for GSoC 2025.

Thanks, Christian.
