GitPitch Product Repos

I started working on GitPitch as an open-source project back in 2016. The original code for that project is still found in this repository. Since mid 2017 I have been working full time developing a number of GitPitch products and services most of which are maintained in private repositories. But I encourage users to report issues and request features for all GitPitch products using GitHub issue tracking on this repository.

As you will see from the following CHANGELOG the GitPitch project is actively under development with fixes, features and even new products being added all the time.
