## What it is
Nit is a CLI tool that applies Git-like concepts to web3 digital assets, letting users commit an asset's activities (chronicle) as on-chain records with asset trees stored on IPFS. It is part of the Numbers Protocol ecosystem for making digital assets trustworthy and traceable.

## Use cases
- register digital assets on a blockchain for provenance
- track the history and provenance of media files
- create tamper-evident on-chain records of asset changes
- store asset metadata trees on IPFS with a CID
- chronicle evidence files for legal or journalistic use
- manage creator, license, and timestamp metadata for digital content

## When to choose
- you need verifiable, on-chain provenance for digital assets or media
- you want a Git-like workflow (init, add, commit, status) for asset histories
- you work with the Numbers Protocol ecosystem or ERC-7053 CIDs
- you need cryptographic evidence trails, e.g. for journalism or legal documentation

## When to avoid
- you just need ordinary version control for source code - use Git instead
- you want a fully managed hosted API rather than a local CLI
- you cannot pay blockchain transaction fees or interact with testnets
- your assets must stay fully private, since records are written on-chain
