From the README:
You’re looking at xit, a new version control system. Here be dragons, as they say. This is new and unstable software. Maybe one day it will be a worthy successor to git, but for now, only use it if you’re adventurous. Here are the main features:
- git compatible
- supports the git networking protocol for push/fetch/clone
- read more about git compatibility
- combine snapshot-based and patch-based version control
- merging and cherry-picking uses patches like Darcs and Pijul
- restoring files and anything sent over the network uses snapshots like git
- read more about snapshots vs patches
- built-in TUI
- all functionality will be exposed via the TUI
- for now though, it only shows log and status…baby steps!
- read more about the TUI
- store large/binary files efficiently
- uses a modern chunking algorithm (FastCDC) to deltify large files
- doesn’t compress binary files…it has no benefit and can even make them larger
- read more about chunking
- universal undo
- any change to the repo can be cleanly undone
- this feature is still under development, so it’s not available yet
- read more about the immutable database
- clean implementation
- uses no third-party libraries in production…all bugs are our bugs
- can be easily used as a library in other projects
- contains a reuseable git implementation in pure Zig
- read more about xit’s internals and using xit as a library
