Chi

|Crate|Linux|macOS| |:---:|:---:|:---:| ||||

A safe, understandable, & lightning-fast distributed version control system (DVCS).

Goals

High level project goals:

• [x] address common criticism with Git's user interface
• [ ] scale seamlessly to repositories that are hundreds of gigabytes in size
• [x] be fast

Status

Not ready for usage. Very open to collaboration if anyone else is interested in working on this project with me!

Currently the init and add commands somewhat function, and I'm working on the commit command. Afterwards I'm planning to refactor the add command, as I want to take more inspiration from the gitless conceptual model and abolish the concept of a staging area in favor of "tracking" and "untracking".
