Source: [Console review]() Website: [https://oak.space/docs]() Profile updated: 2026-10-16 Category: [Coding & workflows]() ## Supported tech stack Research checked: 2026-10-11 ### Runs on - Linux (Operating system) - Windows (Operating system) - macOS (Operating system) Source: [Research source]() Documented compatibility; coverage may be incomplete. Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support. CLI ships for macOS, Linux and Windows; filesystem mounts use each host's platform APIs. ## Console’s review — 2026-07-02 Reviewed: 2026-07-02 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### What we like Unit of work is a branch which is cloned instantly using content-addressed storage - never push to main directly. Changes based around a branch description rather than commit messages. Create a working tree from a remote repo without requiring a full clone. Spaces combine repos for large cross-repo tasks. Import/export from git. ### Tradeoffs Only supports macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux (x86) due to underlying filesystem requirements for content addressable storage.
