AVP launches open-source version control for agents
AVP is an open-source Git alternative built for parallel AI coding agents, proving every change against the exact current head before landing it. Its server-backed workflow replays overlapping work, preserves ordinary Git commits, and connects with tools like Claude Code and Codex.
AVP targets the real bottleneck in agentic development: safely integrating many concurrent changes, not merely isolating them in worktrees.
- –Its exact-head proof model can keep main green while sending failed integrations back to the responsible agent.
- –The self-reported benchmark recorded zero red main states for AVP, versus 14 for Git and 10 for Jujutsu across overlapping tasks.
- –That safety has a throughput cost: AVP was slower than Git in the eight-agent and twelve-agent tests, despite matching or beating it on smaller tasks.
- –Ordinary Git mirrors make migration practical, but teams still need to evaluate the maturity, trust model, and operational burden of introducing a new source-control server.
