s3git is a Go CLI tool that applies git-like distributed version control to data stored in S3-compatible cloud storage, supporting huge repos with deduplication and directory versioning. It requires no server-side components and offers Go, Python, and Ruby libraries.

Use cases

  • version control large datasets in cloud storage
  • clone petabyte-scale repos locally to make changes
  • deduplicate and version directories of files
  • manage build and release artifacts like Kubernetes releases
  • devops data pipelines with versioned storage
  • store and version photo and video collections

When to choose

  • you want git-like workflows for large data in S3
  • you need decentralized versioning without server components
  • you need deduplication across millions of files

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software (last release 2016)
  • you need git features like branching workflows for source code
  • you use non-S3 storage backends
