Git Without the Clone: Durable, Versioned Workspaces for AI Agents

Mount a repo instead of cloning it: FUSE-backed workspaces with 30-second autosave, private snapshots, and server-side merges — unpublished work survives a sandbox crash.

Rohan's second build on this page, and the first community walkthrough of Git Repositories. Instead of cloning, an agent mounts the repo as a local directory over FUSE, with a write-ahead log checkpointing every 30 seconds — he kills the sandbox mid-edit, remounts, and every unpublished change is still there. From there it's snapshots as private checkpoints, promote to publish to a branch, and compare-and-swap pushes so concurrent agents don't stomp each other's work.

We didn’t write this one — it’s Rohan Mistry’s piece, published on Towards AI. The note above is ours; the full article is theirs.
