Pijul

Pijul is a free and open source distributed version control system based on a sound theory of...

IMHO the only really interesting alternative to Git currently is Pijul (https://pijul.org) as it is not a more-or-less Git clone but a different approach to the problem itself. Pijul allows for very interesting development and ci/cd workflows.

Congrats on the HN launch. How does this improve or expand or blow git-lfs[1] out of the water because if I needed large blob file support it's what I would use instead. It offers pointers to the big files to the hosted git instead of pushing around the binaries itself -- though I am speculating since I've not used it myself just read about it online.

Congrats on the launch! It's always exciting to see more competition in the version control space. One question I have is whether you guys are better than: https://desktop.github.com/ This seems to do the exact same thing, be free forever, and have a more mature GUI that is also easier to use than regular terminal git. In my firm, even with people who don't know how to code, they can use github desktop (since it babies you through the process of committing code.).

Some companies are building their own solutions (Google, Meta), and some are splitting their monorepos because of these problems. IMO if a company wants to run a monorepo for their reasons, they shouldn't be limited by their VCS. The technical details are for the readers who want to know, I agree it's not really important for the users (most of them, at least).
