Bitrig is an OpenBSD-based operating system targeted exclusively at the amd64 and armv7 platforms.

Bitrig focuses on using modern tools such as git and llvm/clang along with only focusing on modern platforms.

It aims to have a "commercially friendly code base",[2] with texinfo being the only GNU tool in the base system.[3] GPT partitioning is currently supported by Bitrig,[4] and future plans include support for virtualisation and EFI.[5]
