Version large files without changing how you use Git
Use your own storage with gat add, git commit,
gat push.
curl -fsSL https://getgat.dev/install.sh | sh
Choose the installer for your shell. Git is used alongside gat.
gat init
gat remote add origin 's3://my-bucket/assets?region=eu-west-1'
gat add models/encoder.safetensors
git add gat.lock gat.yaml
git commit -m "Track encoder weights with gat"
gat push --remote origin

Plain git underneath

Fast, content-addressed cache
Identical content shares one cached object across paths and versions.
