Me too. Version control is great, it should get more use outside of software.

Notable differences: E2E encryption, parallel imports (Got will light up all your cores), and a data structure that supports large files and directories.

The problem is when you move beyond text files it gets hard to tell what changes between two versions without opening both versions in whatever program they come from and comparing.

Yeah, totally agree. Got has not solved conflict resolution for arbitrary files. However, we can tell the user where the files differ, and that the file has changed.

There is still value in being able to import files and directories of arbitrary sizes, and having the data encrypted. This is the necessary infrastructure to be able to do distributed version control on large amounts of private data. You can't do that easily with Git. It's very clunky even with remote helpers and LFS.

I talk about that in the Why Got? section of the docs.

Nice! Not sure if you're aware of Got(Game of Trees) that appears to pre-date your Got.

Yes the author reached out. There has not yet been a confusion among real users that I am aware of.
