Rift is a fast Rust CLI that creates instant copy-on-write copies of project directories as a better alternative to git worktrees, using btrfs snapshots, reflinks, or APFS clonefile. It can also be used as an FFI library from Bun or Node.
Use cases
- create instant copies of large repos without git worktrees
- snapshot a 10gb project folder in under a second
- spin up parallel workspaces for bugfix and feature branches
- clone a project excluding node_modules and build artifacts
- manage copy-on-write workspaces on btrfs or APFS
- call workspace snapshotting from a bun or node script via FFI
When to avoid
- you are on Windows, where workspace creation is not implemented
- you need a stable, production-ready tool - the repo is explicitly experimental
- your filesystem lacks reflink or snapshot support
