- Worries only about patches, not about snapshots too
- Only a few commands to learn. No complex switches
- Combines many git approaches in one. For example:
- pijul record (its commit) is an interactive code selection at the same time.
- Merges and rebases are all the same (due to the way commits are linked)
I'm one of the main authors. No stagnation, the future is bright but I've been founding a small company recently, not related to Pijul. I've shown an MVP to customers three months ago, now I'm close to 1.0 there. I promise I'll move back to Pijul soon.
Another issue is the Nest (our hosting service), I've been working on a new Nest that can benefit from being open source, unlike the current one.
Another indication that it's doing alright: I'll give a talk about it at BOB 2023 (bobkonf.de), and an invited talk in April at Collège de France.
First of all congratulations to shipping the first MVP! And I'm glad to hear that Pijul is very alive! No need to promise anything, I was just wondering.
I can't wait until Pijul escapes the nice and grows in popularity.
The author has a habit of taking his work offline for months. Hopefully, that's what's going on now. They are so close to 1.0 with their work. I seriously doubt that project stagnated entirely.
I looked this up and Pijul is a "distributed version control system" being written in Rust:
