OpenBSD Developers Launch Game of Trees, a Git Alternative

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

Game of Trees (Got) is a new version control system from OpenBSD developers, designed as a Git-compatible alternative with a focus on simplicity and security. It supports local and remote repositories via SSH, with commands similar to Git. The project aims to provide a cleaner codebase and easier auditing for OpenBSD's development workflow.

Meridian48 take
While Got offers a fresh take on version control for OpenBSD purists, its niche focus and limited ecosystem make it unlikely to challenge Git's dominance beyond that community.
