A scalable, FUSE-backing version control system for dealing with growing in size repositories.

Disclaimer: the system is under construction - API and data formats are subject to change without preserve any backward compatibility.

Project's goal

Create a version control system which can effectively work both with small and extra large repositories.

Build

To build the project cmake 3.20+ and C++ with C++23 support are required (g++-12, clang-16).

Create a build directory:

mkdir out && cd out

Generate a project with explicit version of compiler:

export CXX=g++-12 && export CC=gcc-12 && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

Make a build:

make -j

Run the command line utility to see available subcommands:

./cmd/vcs

Converting existing repository

An existing git repository can be converted into the vcs format. Run:

vcs git convert --git <repo-path>/.git <vcs-path>
