  "summary": "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.\n\nAccording 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.",
