Pijul

“I've been using it with a massive farm of agents to build large things”

“I've been using it to build giant things using hundreds of Claude instances in parallel, almost without any conflict, ever.”

“it works really well for agent collaboration”

“patch theory guaranteeing you can "apply" commits in any order”

“pijul at least looks cool even if I don't know if it scales well”

“Pijul natively handles monorepos btw, that's the whole point.”

“For concurrency reasons Pijul is an excellent git replacement for agents”

“I was kind of hoping Jujitsu or Pijul would take a stab at these major Git deficiencies but unfortunately it seems like they are content to do them as badly as Git does.”

“It's darcs' spiritual successor, and quite performant and capable.”

“which Darcs/Pijul don’t require so long as the patches apply since they commute”

“it's still not at a maturity level that I would like”

“Pijul is barebones by design, ready to be scripted, there’s just not much out there.”

“the whole system implementation is so complex my guy is still toiling away on it, unfinished, after half a decade”

“You might like pijul if you like darcs”

“Pijul & Darcs still have better fundamentals.”

“first class support for "how do I combine these" which git mostly discards as unimportant”

“its approach seems fundamentally more right than Git's”

“Pijul is a brilliant experiment in Category Theory applied to VCS”

“Just stop using rebase is much easier to socialize than let's all move to Pijul.”

“Some basic quality of life features were missing, and are still missing.”

“diffs can't show context. They show lines removed and added, but can't show the previous and following line”

“I tried it a few weeks ago and found it completely unusable. I do not get how they claim to be using it.”

“the network effect of git at this point is too strong”

“major, seemingly unresolvable crashes for the simplest of operations on Mac and Linux”

“I like darcs, so I am rooting for pijul.”

“some even more algebraically sound like Darcs and Pijul”

“it seems really nice for working with an agent”

“These are all version control systems that are better than git in various ways.”

“it crashed on me a few times on my first day, so I just uninstalled it”

“everything sound awesome : quite no more merge conflict and patches order free”

“encounter a no-workaround-possible bug in the network sync”

“Once you resolve the conflict of A+B, no future merges or rebases would cause the same conflict again.”

“hundreds - perhaps thousands - of hours of real expert developer's toil put in it”

“changes are patches and are commutative”

“because Pijul uses Pijul for development, not Git and GitHub”

“it has hundreds - perhaps thousands - of hours of real expert developer's toil put in it”

“exploring both as alternatives to git and alternative's to git's ideas/dominance is still a handy idea”

“I liked pijul a bunch too but lack of compat with git meant I can't use it for work”

“Much more principled (and hence less of a foot-gun) way of handling conflicts is making them first class objects in the repository”

“eliminates an entire class of merge conflicts which make working in a distributed manner more feasible”
