'''Bitrig''' was an [OpenBSD](/source/OpenBSD)-based operating system targeted exclusively at the [amd64](/source/amd64) and [armv7](/source/armv7) platforms.

It is no longer being developed, and some of the work that it had done was merged back into OpenBSD.<ref name=dead>[https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Bitrig-Fork-Dead "Bitrig: The Short-Lived OpenBSD Fork"], Michael Larabel, [Phoronix](/source/Phoronix), 30 July 2017.</ref> Some of its achievements included porting [FUSE](/source/Filesystem_in_Userspace)/puffs support, libc++ to the platform to replace libstdc++, [PIE](/source/Position-independent_executable) support for [AMD64](/source/AMD64) and NDB kernel support.<ref name=dead/>

Bitrig focused on using modern tools such as [Git](/source/Git) and [LLVM](/source/LLVM)/[Clang](/source/Clang) along with only focusing on modern platforms.

It aimed to have a "commercially friendly code base",<ref name=officialfaq>[https://github.com/bitrig/bitrig/wiki/Faq "Faq - Bitrig"], Github, 7 December 2014.</ref> with [texinfo](/source/texinfo) being the only [GNU](/source/GNU) tool in the base system.<ref name=onepointzero>[https://www.bitrig.org/10.html "Bitrig 1.0 Key Features"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150115085929/https://www.bitrig.org/10.html |date=2015-01-15 }}, Bitrig, 2014.</ref> [GPT](/source/GUID_Partition_Table) partitioning was supported by Bitrig,<ref>[http://www.bsdnow.tv/episodes/2014_12_10-must_be_rigged "Episode 067: Must be Rigged"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227144933/http://www.bsdnow.tv/episodes/2014_12_10-must_be_rigged |date=2014-12-27 }}, bsdnow.tv, 10 December 2014.</ref> and future plans included support for [virtualisation](/source/virtualisation) and [EFI](/source/Extensible_Firmware_Interface).<ref>[//www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTg1MzY "OpenBSD-Forked Bitrig Finally Sees Its Initial Release"], Phoronix Media, 4 December 2014.</ref>
