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 clone needed
  • Storage: smaller than git gc --aggressive

Try it

Apache-2.0: https://github.com/VishiATChoudhary/graft

Feedback on the design and benchmarks is very welcome!
