Mission Control

Exploring what Git can do beyond source control.

Gitstronaut is an open-source lab for original experiments that expand the role of Git. Each project discovered in this growing Gitstroverse becomes a Gitstronaut.

The Mission

There is more territory inside Git.

Git is usually treated as a place to store source code. The Gitstroverse begins with a different question: what else can its portable history, decentralized model, and native review workflows become?

Audit trail

Git history as durable, inspectable evidence.

Portable data

Human-readable records that can move with their repository.

Collaboration

Branches, reviews, and commits as an operational workflow.

Disconnected work

Git-backed systems designed for constrained environments.

Security Operations

Launched· Alpha

Git-backed security control testing for connected and disconnected environments.

The Git expansion

Git serves as Veckl's data model, review workflow, and durable audit trail—not merely its source repository.

Join the Expedition

The Gitstroverse is built in the open.

The lab begins with projects maintained by Thomas Hinson, with a course set toward welcoming other maintainers and their original Git experiments.
