Me too. Version control is great, it should get more use outside of software. https://github.com/gotvc/got Notable differences: E2E encryption, parallel imports (Got will light up all your cores), and a data structure that supports large…

This is a very similar to one of my projects "Got". https://github.com/gotvc/got The algorithms it uses are superior to rsync and git in a few ways. It comes short on features, especially for software development compared to Git. The…
