Git Money

With git money you can let your work speak for itself.

It shouldn’t matter where you are - the United States, Ukraine, an island, India or anywhere. If your code solves a problem, you should be paid. The quality of your work should be all that matters when providing a solution to a problem. With git money, your work is your resume. Nothing else matters.

Not a coder? Not a problem.

A problem doesn’t have to be technical. People have needs for graphics, text, video editing, social media assistance and many other things - and they're willing to pay for it. If you have a skill, there might be money waiting for you.
