Xit – a Git-compatible VCS written in Zig

AI Analysis
●●●BangerWizardryBold BetZero to One
First VCS with patch-based merging that's actually git-compatible.
Strengths
- •Patch-based merging like Darcs/Pijul while maintaining full git protocol compatibility.
- •Zero third-party dependencies—all bugs are their own, pure Zig implementation.
- •FastCDC chunking for efficient binary file storage without pointless compression.
Weaknesses
- •TUI and universal undo features still incomplete—baby steps as author admits.
- •New VCS means convincing teams to abandon git workflows is a hard sell.

Post Description
The marquee feature is patch-based merging, similar to Darcs and Pijul. I think xit is the first version control system (VCS) to have this feature while still being git compatible. See the 100% human-written readme for more.
