Unfucked - version all changes (by any tool) - local-first/source avail

Git couldn't help because I hadn't finished/committed my in progress work. I wanted something that recorded every save automatically so I could rewind to any point in time.

In plain words
Unfucked is a background daemon that automatically snapshots every text file in chosen directories on each save, storing versions in an object store with metadata in SQLite. It lets users query and restore any previous version through a CLI or UI, using familiar git-like commands such as log, diff, and restore. Built to protect against accidental overwrites and deletions—especially from AI agents—it ignores binaries and respects .gitignore files. It's designed for developers and teams working with AI tools who need comprehensive version recovery without relying on git commits.

I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. 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:…

Deff – Side-by-side Git diff review in your terminalFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲120deff is an interactive Rust TUI for reviewing git diffs side-by-side with syntax highlighting and added/deleted line tinting. It supports keyboard/mouse navigation, vim-style motions, in-diff search (/, n, N), per-file reviewed toggles, and both upstream-based and explicit --base/--head comparisons. It can also include uncommitted + untracked files (--include-uncommitted) so you can review your working tree before committing. Would love to get some feedback

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
