Windsurf Alternative
Windsurf has memory, but it's locked in their cloud. ginko stores context in your git repo — portable, version-controlled, yours.
→Cursor Alternative Coming Soon
Cursor is powerful but forgets between sessions. ginko adds persistent memory that works alongside Cursor.
Cody Alternative Coming Soon
Sourcegraph Cody understands code well. ginko adds cross-session memory and team knowledge sharing.
Aider Alternative Coming Soon
Aider is great for CLI pair programming. ginko adds persistent context that survives across sessions.
Continue Alternative Coming Soon
Continue is open-source and flexible. ginko adds git-native memory and a team knowledge graph.
GitHub Copilot Alternative Coming Soon
Copilot completes code but doesn't remember context. ginko adds the memory layer Copilot lacks.
