Code hosting and version control

Repositories, branches, pull requests, CI and evals on zev.

Zaryn hosts repositories on zev, a version control system whose history is content-addressed and can be signed, so anyone can check it. Branches, reviews, CI that skips work it has done before, and evals that stop a pull request that makes things worse.

Moving from Git

Move a Git repository to zev in three commands. Preview what comes over, import it in place or straight from its address, and get proof that every commit and file matches Git. Real examples for an open source project, a company repository with LFS, submodules and hooks, and a team that switches gradually.
