Tobi open-sources walgit: A single-binary Git server backed by object stores
jevon · x · 2026-08-24
Inspired by a Cursor blog post, Shopify founder Tobi Lütke implemented and open-sourced walgit over the weekend. Written in Rust, walgit is a single binary Git server that points directly to S3 or GCS object stores, requiring no database, no leader, and no critical local state. It features smart HTTP protocols, Git LFS, a web UI, a JSON API, and bundle-uri support to accelerate cloning of large repositories like monorepos. Every machine running walgit acts as a disposable cache, with the bucket serving as the source of truth.
