PitHub in one sentence

PitHub is Git for prompts and AI conversations: Git stores the code, while PitHub preserves the prompts, context, iterations, and model replies that produced the work.

What a pit contains

A pit is a durable AI-conversation artifact with a title, description, ordered messages, source/model attribution, tags, a professional category, visibility rules, and version/fork history. It can be public, unlisted, private, or held in a private team workspace.

The workflow

1. Capture a conversation through the web editor, an importer, or the PitHub MCP plugin.
2. Select everything or an exact subset such as last exchange, 2-6, from 4, or specific 1-based message indices.
3. Add metadata and choose visibility. Team pits are always private to current members.
4. Append later experiments as new versions, inspect diffs, or fork an alternative approach.
5. Search, retrieve, export, share, or publish the result.

MCP

The MCP server lets an authorized AI client create, preview, append, update, publish, retrieve, search, fork, and manage pits in natural language. Version 0.4.0 also attaches real UTF-8 text files. The local npm transport reads absolute paths, while hosted MCP accepts a filename plus inline content.

Attached guide bundle

• what-is-pithub.md — comprehensive guide
• what-is-pithub.txt — portable plain-text overview
• pithub-mcp.json — pinned MCP configuration
• pithub-mcp-how-to.txt — setup and troubleshooting
• pithub-prompts.txt — copy-ready prompt recipes
• pit-conversation.json — this conversation as structured JSON
• README.txt — bundle index and format notes

The workspace also contains what-is-pithub.m, as requested. The current PitHub text-file allowlist does not accept .m, so the equivalent .md guide is attached to the pit instead.
