I had Claude build an open-source alternative to git for agent-scale monorepos
Anthropic recently wrote about creating in-house source control : they went from ~2,500 merged changes a day in May to 30,000+ in September, and git-era infrastructure built for humans became the bottleneck for agents. So I had Claude build an open-source take on it: Graft . Benchmarks vs git on a 100k-file monorepo Sparse checkout: 12x faster Concurrent land throughput: 82x grep: 29x faster , no…
An open-source alternative to git called Graft has been developed using Claude. The project aims to address bottlenecks caused by infrastructure built for humans when dealing with agent-scale monorepos. This follows reports from Anthropic regarding their own in-house source control, noting a shift from approximately 2,500 merged changes a day in May to over 30,000 in September.
According to Dev.to, benchmarks on a 100k-file monorepo show that Graft's sparse checkout is 12x faster, concurrent land throughput is 82x faster, and grep is 29x faster than git. Additionally, the tool requires no clone and features storage that is smaller than git gc --aggressive. The project is available under the Apache-2.0 license.
