Discontinued

Historical record. This platform is discontinued and should not be treated as an active option.

Gitstore tried to turn repositories and developer packages into products that could be sold with pricing plans, one-off purchases, or donations. The service now appears inactive, but it remains a useful historical example of explicit access control and storefront-style monetization for developer assets.
