A Bird's-Eye View of Version Control with Pijul
summary
Pijul is a patch‑based distributed VCS written in Rust that records atomic patches (not snapshots), supports interactive recording, and preserves patch identity so cherry‑picks and reorders don’t change semantics. Demo shows pijul init, record, apply and log, channel (branch) switching, and dependency tracking that auto‑applies needed patches. Pijul 1.0 is in beta and has its own hosting at Pijul Nest; downside is limited support on GitHub/GitLab.
