Trylle

Trylle is a Git hosting platform built as an alternative to GitHub, with a focus on keeping code review, issue tracking, and CI/CD in a single unified interface. The pitch is that you shouldn't need to context-switch between tabs to manage pull requests, automation, and project issues when all of that could live on the same timeline. It's aimed at teams and individuals who find the fragmented tooling around GitHub frustrating and want something more cohesive.

Pull request management is the centerpiece. Trylle supports inline commenting on specific lines, automatically generated review summaries, and a dedicated review queue that organizes incoming and authored requests in one place. The standout feature is native support for stacked pull requests, where dependent branches are grouped together and can be reviewed and merged as a unit. Stacking PRs on GitHub requires third-party tooling and careful rebasing; Trylle builds it into the platform with CLI support for managing the stack.

CI and automation use a GitHub-compatible format, so if you already have .github/workflows YAML files, they should work without rewriting. Runners are available for Linux x86, ARM64, and macOS. The system supports artifact publishing and releases, and automation can fire on standard repository events like pushes, pull requests, and tags. Because CI lives in the same interface as code review, you can see build status, test results, and diffs without jumping to a separate service.

Issue tracking is built in with labels, mentions, and assignment. Security-focused automation can detect secrets in diffs before they get merged, which is a common pain point in fast-moving teams. Bot integrations come with explicit scope controls, so you can grant automation access to specific capabilities without handing over the keys to everything.

Trylle offers a Zen mode for code review that presents diffs in a narrative-focused flow, which is meant to help reviewers understand the intent behind changes rather than just scanning line-by-line. It's a small UX choice that signals the platform is thinking about the review experience rather than just shipping features.

Migration from GitHub preserves history and supports push mirroring so you can keep your original remote synchronized while you evaluate the platform. That lowers the switching cost if you want to try Trylle without burning bridges.

Pricing for personal workspaces has three tiers. Free gives you $15 in monthly CI credits and $10 in AI credits. Pro at $4 per month bumps those to $20 and $15. Max at $20 per month provides $30 CI and $30 AI credits. The AI credits suggest there's some model-assisted functionality, likely the review summaries and possibly secret detection, though the site doesn't break down exactly what consumes them.

Trylle fits developers and small teams who want a GitHub alternative with tighter integration between code review and automation, especially those who rely on stacked PRs and find the GitHub approach clunky.
