What it does

A git extension for many developers and coding agents changing one repository at the same time. Copy-on-write workspaces instead of worktrees, changes checked against what landed meanwhile, and each change's reason kept. Zit is a git extension for repositories that several people and coding agents change at the same time. Each session works in its own copy-on-write copy of the code instead of a git worktree. Sessions on the same machine can see what the others are changing and claim work before starting it. Changes land one at a time, each checked against what landed since it started and against the checks you declare. Your branches, history and remotes stay plain git; teammates who never…from getzit.org

  • Git-workty – I got tired of Git stash and built a worktree wrapperJan 2026 · github.com · ▲7

    I context-switch a lot. Someone pings me about a bug while I'm mid-feature, and I either: 1. `git stash` (and forget what's in there forever) 2. Make a "WIP: stuff" commit (clutters history) 3. Ignore them until I'm done (not great) Worktrees solve this perfectly – each task gets its own directory, fully isolated. But the commands are clunky and I kept forgetting the syntax. So I built a small CLI wrapper. Now my workflow is: ``` wnew feat/login # creates worktree + cd into it # ...do work... wcd # fuzzy-pick another worktree, cd there wgo main # jump straight to main ``` Dashboard…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
