lore

2 months ago Epic games announced and open sourced Lore, their in-house version control system for large, binary heavy repositories. https://github.com/epicgames/lore I was an early member of the lore team at Epic and helped specify and design it. I'm really keen to see how I can help promote lore as a platform as I think it solves some problems, especially for games and content teams, that are long over due to be solved. I've built a hosted platform for lore, www.lorepit.com that makes it easy for teams to try out lore and see if it works for them. As lore is designed to work with large amounts of media content, lorepit has viewers for lots of different media types including images, meshes, video and audio. https://lorepit.com/public I've also added a system called FYI that automatically generates chronological documentation for your fil

I really really want to do version control for everything, but most of my data is binary so it really doesn't agree with git; I tried using LFS as well but it didn't work for my specific workflow. Hopefully something less text oriented comes along in the future. Lore looked interesting for this purpose. https://github.com/EpicGames/lore

The link to Architectural Decision Records is empty, but they're present in the repo to look at[0]. Curiously the decision with the most deciders is the implementation of JavaScript bindings[1].

There’s a “Repositories” link at the top of the page that links to https://lore.org/#repositories, WhyHow links to various GitHub repos, including https://github.com/EpicGames/lore, which claims to have code for the CLI. I see no reason to suspect that claim is incorrect. The code likely lives in https://github.com/EpicGames/lore/tree/main/lore-client)

repo: https://github.com/EpicGames/lore Looks very git-ish. But probably better equipped for large binary files. echo "Hello, Lore" > hello.txt lore stage hello.txt lore status --scan lore commit "Initial revision" lore push
