tool designed for solo single-file projects that allows several histories to coexist in a single directory – good for /etc files, HOWTOs, or that script collection in your ~/bin directory.
Well that’s pretty interesting. I must have missed SRC when it was released 4 years ago, as well as every day in the interim.
Anyone use SRC here? What do you use it for or like about it?
It says something that our version control systems are complicated enough that a bespoke, single user system makes sense (in niche cases), I’m just not sure what it says…
But is e.g. git really that complicated as a single user system? You could work with a small subset of commands (git checkout, git branch, git commit -a, git reset --hard HEAD) and you would probably have something similar. Plus you can easily do more advanced stuff if you go beyond one person for a reason.
This sounds like RCS.
Looks like it is supposed to

What’s the small subset and is it like C++ that it’s a different small subset for different groups?
A nice feature would be the ability to transition from SRC to git, I’ll have to look/file an issue.
