What Comes After Git
East River Source Control is exploring the future of version control systems as software development evolves. The rise of agentic AI and monorepos is placing new demands on existing tools like Git, necessitating potential innovations in how code is stored and managed.
Why it matters
As AI-driven development increases, current version control standards may become bottlenecks, signaling a shift in software engineering infrastructure.
East River Source Control has been around for over a year now, but we haven’t been talking much publicly about what we’ve been working on. We aren’t announcing anything just yet, and we will soon, but we wanted to share some of our thinking around version control and where things are going.
Building software is fundamentally a collaborative task. Projects start with humble beginnings, and end up growing into incredibly large and complex systems. But what cargo new generates is the same thing as what a multi-billion line monorepo contains: source code. Storing this code safely and securely, managing how it changes over time, and ensuring its availability to developers are some of the most critical functions of any technology organization.
