The Notion alternative for developers.
Notion is great for notes. But docs drift, and it doesn't know your code. Guthub keeps documentation in sync with your codebase and adds project management and AI where your work actually lives.

Docs that stay in sync
Living documentation is generated from your code and updates as it changes — no more stale Notion pages nobody trusts.
Codebase-aware AI
Ask questions about your actual repo and get answers that cite exact files and functions, not a generic chatbot.
PM where code lives
Tickets, sprints, and roadmap sit next to your code and update on commits and PRs — no context-switching to a separate tool.

The problem with Notion for dev work
Notion is a fantastic general-purpose workspace, but for engineering it has a fundamental gap: it doesn't know your code. Documentation is written by hand, so it drifts out of date the moment the code changes — and a doc nobody trusts is worse than no doc at all. Guthub closes that gap by generating living documentation from the codebase itself.
More than docs
Where Notion stops at pages, Guthub adds project management and a codebase-aware AI assistant in the same place. Tickets link to commits and PRs, the roadmap reflects real progress, and you can ask the AI about your repo and get answers with exact source references. It's the consolidation play: one tool instead of Notion for docs, Linear for issues, and a separate AI.
