Oak – Git alternative designed for agents
Oak is a version control system I've been working on designed for agents (https://oak.space). It improves the speed and context your agents need when working on serious projects. With virtual mounts, agents locally and in the cloud no longer need a full copy of a repo to get working. You can work on many tasks in parallel without needing to download everything or fight worktrees. Version control shouldn't waste you or your agents time. It should be fast, creative and fun to make things with agents.Oak is still early in development. There's no Windows build and missing plenty of features (no CI, no issues, no comments). We still use GitHub Actions for building Oak now, but we've been fully bootstrapped on Oak with no Git backup for several months: https://oak.space/oak/oak.Blog post: https://oak.space/blog#git-is-foreverDocs: https://oak.space/docs
