Hosting Git repositories at scale is a nightmare. When Linus Torvalds designed the first version of the information manager from hell (that's actually the tagline for Git, look it up), he had a very specific use case in mind: his own. He wanted to replace BitKeeper, the distributed version control system that was being used to develop the Linux Kernel. Of course, the replacement had to be distributed too. The Kernel is an unusual software project; it is extremely decentralized, with many different maintainers for its many different subsystems. A distributed version control system is a natural fit for this workflow.

Jujutsu For Busy Devs | maddie, wtf?!
Jujutsu (jj) is a version control system with a significantly simplified mental model and command-line interface compared to Git, without sacrificing expressibility or power (in fact, you could argue Jujutsu is more powerful). Stacked-diff workflows, seamless rebases, and ephemeral revisions are all natural with jj, and it uses Git as a backend, which means you can begin using it non-destructively with a single command and can always drop back down to Git if you need to.

Introducing Tap: Repository Synchronization Made Simple | Bluesky
Just about every app built on AT needs data from a repository at some point. For many use cases – feed generators, labelers, bots – streaming live data through a Relay or Jetstream works well. But some applications need to go beyond what Jetstream was designed for, like tracking specific subsets of a repo, automatically backfilling a database when adding new repos to monitor, or even mirroring the entire Atmosphere.
RFCs on the Atmosphere
I was recently working on an RFC for some open source work and didn't have a good place to post it. Google Docs is annoying for anything technical and a git repo is heavy if you don't already have one set up and a process ready to go.
