DEDUPEDWho it is forInfrastructure engineer planning to run several gitai nodes behind one repository
The problemRepository state tied to one node's disk means you cannot add nodes or recover one that dies.
The outcomeYour repositories are imported and served in authoritative mode from a database and object storage, with nodes acting as rebuildable caches.
What you need first
- Linux or macOS
- Go 1.26, a C toolchain, Meson and Ninja (the build compiles a bundled Git)
- No paid keys needed; conflict resolution can use any LLM provider, a deterministic tool, or none
- SQLite or PostgreSQL plus object storage (file, S3, GCS, Azure) only if you move the repo state off local Git
Steps
- Read doc/graft/STORAGE.md
- Add a [graft.storage] section to your config.toml
- Start in shadow mode and import your repositories
- Switch to authoritative mode once imports check out
Prompt for your agent
In feder-cr/git-ai, follow doc/graft/STORAGE.md to add a [graft.storage] section using <database-url> and <object-store>, start in shadow mode and import <repo>. Verify the import completed before suggesting the switch to authoritative.
Caveat. The README lists garbage collection of packs in the storage core as a known gap, so storage can grow without cleanup.
About git-ai
Version control built for coding agents instead of humans, so many agents can work on one codebase without stepping on each other. View feder-cr/git-ai on GitHub.
More with git-ai
- Give every coding agent its own token and branch limits Use per-agent tokens, an RPC allowlist and branch policies so each agent can only do what you allow.
- Reproduce the 50-agent landing benchmark on your own machine Run the repo's acceptance script to compare classic retry-based landing with batched compare-and-swap landing.
- Watch many agents land changes on one branch in minutes Build gitai and run the bundled quickstart to see agents land on a shared branch with no merge queue.
- Stand up a shared server for a fleet of coding agents Run your own gitai server so each agent gets its own token and lands onto shared branches.
- Resolve conflicting agent changes automatically with a chosen resolver Plug in a deterministic tool or any LLM provider so conflicting lands resolve instead of bouncing back to the agent.
- Give an agent only the folders it needs in a huge repo Use graft sparse and graft clone to materialize just the paths a short task touches instead of a full clone.
- Test the branch tip after landing and revert the culprit Run graft-verify so a failing tip is bisected and the change that broke it is reverted without a human.
- Follow the live changeset log with a monitoring agent Have an agent watch every accepted update and report what matters to each component, including in Slack.
