Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Git compatible CLI, but everything is stored in Postgres rather than on disk. Makes all commits queryable. Everything is delta compressed for efficiency. Makes it easy to query for repo stats like size trends or churn detection. Full text search across the history.

Tradeoffs

Requires Postgres, obviously.
