“Lore is a centralized, content-addressed version control system that represents repository state as Merkle trees and an immutable revision chain, optimized for binary-first storage.”
Epic Games open-sourced Lore, a version control system built for giant binary-heavy projects that choke Git. Merkle trees, content addressing, on-demand hydration, the works. Git was never built for hundred-gigabyte game assets and everyone has suffered for it. The catch is trusting Epic to maintain it after the press release fades.
