Branching – Continuous Version Control (real-time sync for Git)

Hacker News

Hey HN, I'm Fedor (solo founder). After ~20 years of watching devs fight Git, I'm building Branching. Branching streams your local edits to teammates in real time - no manual push/pull. It's Git-compatible and works offline. Why you might care - Teams see each other's changes instantly instead of in PR-sized batches - Conflicts surface ASAP while context is fresh (LLM-assisted merge is experimental, off by default) - Same GitHub remote, so no migration Ships today - VSCode extension + desktop app (macOS / Windows / Linux) - 3 small product teams have been using it for 1–6 months in production - quick demo video - https://branching.app Looking for 5-10 more teams to join the closed beta - https://branching.app Solo dev? Free Jujutsu GUI: https://visualjj.com (stays free) AMA - does an "always-in-sync commit tree" fit your workflow?
