In plain words

NotABug.org is a minimal build system that relies solely on /bin/sh for functionality. Launched in 2017, it provides access to software repositories through git, allowing users to clone projects using git+ssh URLs.

This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…
