Dashy vs Gitness: at a glance
What is Dashy?
Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins
Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.
What is Gitness?
Harness Open Source last shipped in August 2025, on this feed at least
The feed holds two releases of Harness Open Source, tracked here as Gitness. v3.2.0 in May 2025 added Git LFS, default reviewers through branch rules and a Revert PR option; v3.3.0 that August added tag rules, a PR dashboard upgrade with favourite repositories, and a fix for a Git LFS upload path flaw. Nothing newer appears here.

Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins
◆ Current state
Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence stays automated and small-grained, with the maintainer's own fixes interleaved with dependency updates.
◆ Prediction
More single-PR releases will follow; the entries give no sign of a larger feature release.

Harness Open Source last shipped in August 2025, on this feed at least
◆ Current state
The feed holds two releases of Harness Open Source, tracked here as Gitness. v3.2.0 in May 2025 added Git LFS, default reviewers through branch rules and a Revert PR option; v3.3.0 that August added tag rules, a PR dashboard upgrade with favourite repositories, and a fix for a Git LFS upload path flaw. Nothing newer appears here.
◆ Where it's heading
Both releases deepen code-hosting governance: branch rules, then tag rules, plus review routing through Code Owners. That is parity work against established Git hosts rather than a new direction. With entries more than a year old, the feed shows where the project was heading in 2025, not where it is now.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not support a confident call: there is no release in this feed after v3.3.0, so it is unclear whether the project slowed or the feed stopped tracking it.
