Let's look at a few notable highlights from this release, which includes contributions from the Git team at GitLab and also the wider Git community.\n## New git-diff-pairs(1) command\n\nDiffs are at the heart of every code review and show all the changes made\nbetween two revisions. GitLab shows diffs in various places, but the most\ncommon place is a merge request's [\"Changes\" tab](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/merge_requests/changes/).\nBehind the scenes, diff generation is powered by\n[`git-diff(1)`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff). For example:\n\n```shell\n$ git diff HEAD~1 HEAD\n```\n\nThis command returns the full diff for all changed files. This might pose a scalability challenge because the number of files changed between a set of revisions could be very large and cause the command to reach self-imposed timeouts for the GitLab backend. For large change sets, it would be better if\nthere were a way to break diff computation into smaller, more digestible chunks.\n\nOne way this can be achieved is by using\n[`git-diff-tree(1)`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff-tree) to retrieve info\nabout all the changed files:\n\n```shell\n$ git diff-tree -r -M --abbrev HEAD~ HEAD\n:100644 100644 c9adfed339 99acf81487 M      Documentation/RelNotes/2.50.0.adoc\n:100755 100755 1047b8d11d 208e91a17f M      GIT-VERSION-GEN\n```\n\nGit refers to this output as the [\"raw\" format](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff-tree#_raw_output_format).\nIn short, each line of output lists filepairs and the accompanying metadata\nabout what has changed between the start and end revisions. Compared to\ngenerating the \"patch\" output for large changes, this process is relatively\nquick and provides a summary of everything that changed. This command can optionally perform rename detection by  appending the `-M` flag to check if identified changes were due to a file rename.\n\nWith this information, we could use `git-diff(1)` to compute each of the\nfilepair diffs individually. For example, we can provide the blob IDs\ndirectly:\n\n```shell\n$ git diff 1047b8d11de767d290170979a9a20de1f5692e26 208e91a17f04558ca66bc19d73457ca64d5385f\n```\n\nWe can repeat this process for each of the filepairs, but spinning up a\nseparate Git process for each individual file diff is not very efficient.\nFurthermore, when using blob IDs, the diff loses some contextual information\nsuch as the change status, and file modes which are stored in with the parent\ntree object. What we really want is a mechanism to feed \"raw\" filepair info and\ngenerate the corresponding patch output.\n\nWith the 2.50 release, Git has a new built-in command named\n[`git-diff-pairs(1)`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff-pairs). This command\naccepts \"raw\" formatted filepair info as input on stdin to determine exactly which patches to output. The following example showcases how this command could be\nused:\n\n```shell\n$ git diff-tree -r -z -M HEAD~ HEAD | git diff-pairs -z\n```\n\nWhen used in this manner, the resulting output is identical to using `git-diff(1)`.\nBy having a separate command to generate patch output, the \"raw\" output from\n`git-diff-tree(1)` can be broken up into smaller batches of filepairs and fed to separate\n`git-diff-pairs(1)` processes. This solves the previously mentioned scalability\nconcern because diffs no longer have to be computed all at once. Future GitLab\nreleases could build upon this mechanism to improve diff\ngeneration performance, especially in cases where large change sets are\nconcerned. For more information on this change, check out the corresponding\n[mailing-list thread](https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250228213346.1335224-1-jltobler@gmail.com/).\n\n_This project was led by [Justin Tobler](https://gitlab.com/justintobler)._\n\n## Batched reference updates\n\nGit provides the [`git-update-ref(1)`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-ref)\ncommand to perform reference updates. When used with the `--stdin` flag,\nmultiple reference updates can be batched together in a single transaction by\nspecifying instructions for each reference update to be performed on stdin.\nBulk updating references in this manner also provides atomic behavior whereby a\nsingle reference update failure results in an aborted transaction and no\nreferences being updated. Here is an example showcasing this behavior:\n\n```shell\n# Create repository with three empty commits and branch named \"foo\"\n$ git init\n$ git commit --allow-empty -m 1\n$ git commit --allow-empty -m 2\n$ git commit --allow-empty -m 3\n$ git branch foo\n\n# Print out the commit IDs\n$ git rev-list HEAD\ncf469bdf5436ea1ded57670b5f5a0797f72f1afc\n5a74cd330f04b96ce0666af89682d4d7580c354c\n5a6b339a8ebffde8c0590553045403dbda831518\n\n# Attempt to create a new reference and update existing reference in transaction.\n# Update is expected to fail because the specified old object ID doesn’t match.\n$ git update-ref --stdin \u003C\u003CEOF\n> create refs/heads/bar cf469bdf5436ea1ded57670b5f5a0797f72f1afc\n> update refs/heads/foo 5a6b339a8ebffde8c0590553045403dbda831518 5a74cd330f04b96ce0666af89682d4d7580c354c\n> EOF\nfatal: cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/foo': is at cf469bdf5436ea1ded57670b5f5a0797f72f1afc but expected 5a74cd330f04b96ce0666af89682d4d7580c354c\n\n# The \"bar\" reference was not created.\n$ git switch bar\nfatal: invalid reference: bar\n```\n\nCompared to updating many references individually, updating in bulk is also\nmuch more efficient. While this works well, there might be certain\ncircumstances where it is okay for a subset of the requested reference updates\nto fail, but we still want to take advantage of the efficiency gains of bulk\nupdates.\n\nWith this release, `git-update-ref(1)` has the new `--batch-updates` option,\nwhich allows the updates to proceed even when one or more reference updates\nfails. In this mode, individual failures are reported in the following format:\n\n```text\nrejected SP (\u003Cold-oid> | \u003Cold-target>) SP (\u003Cnew-oid> | \u003Cnew-target>) SP \u003Crejection-reason> LF\n```\n\nThis allows successful reference updates to proceed while providing context to\nwhich updates were rejected and for what reason. Using the same example\nrepository from the previous example:\n\n```shell\n# Attempt to create a new reference and update existing reference in transaction.\n$ git update-ref --stdin --batch-updates \u003C\u003CEOF\n> create refs/heads/bar cf469bdf5436ea1ded57670b5f5a0797f72f1afc\n> update refs/heads/foo 5a6b339a8ebffde8c0590553045403dbda831518 5a74cd330f04b96ce0666af89682d4d7580c354c\n> EOF\nrejected refs/heads/foo 5a6b339a8ebffde8c0590553045403dbda831518 5a74cd330f04b96ce0666af89682d4d7580c354c incorrect old value provided\n\n# The \"bar\" reference was created even though the update to \"foo\" was rejected.\n$ git switch bar\nSwitched to branch 'bar'\n```\n\nThis time, with the `--batch-updates` option, the reference creation succeeded\neven though the update didn't work. This patch series lays the groundwork for\nfuture performance improvements in `git-fetch(1)` and `git-receive-pack(1)`\nwhen references are updated in bulk. For more information, check the\n[mailing-list thread](https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250408085120.614893-1-karthik.188@gmail.com/)\n\n_This project was led by [Karthik Nayak](https://gitlab.com/knayakgl)._\n\n## New filter option for git-cat-file(1)\n\nWith [`git-cat-file(1)`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cat-file), it is possible\nto print info for all objects contained in the repository via the\n`--batch–all-objects` option. For example:\n\n```shell\n# Setup simple repository.\n$ git init\n$ echo foo >foo\n$ git add foo\n$ git commit -m init\n\n# Create an unreachable object.\n$ git commit --amend --no-edit\n\n# Use git-cat-file(1) to print info about all objects including unreachable objects.\n$ git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname)'\ncommit 0b07e71d14897f218f23d9a6e39605b466454ece\ntree 205f6b799e7d5c2524468ca006a0131aa57ecce7\nblob 257cc5642cb1a054f08cc83f2d943e56fd3ebe99\ncommit c999f781fd7214b3caab82f560ffd079ddad0115\n```\n\nIn some situations, a user might want to search through all objects in the\nrepository, but only output a subset based on some specified attribute. For\nexample, if we wanted to see only the objects that are commits, we could use\n`grep(1)`:\n\n```shell\n$ git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname)' | grep ^commit\ncommit 0b07e71d14897f218f23d9a6e39605b466454ece\ncommit c999f781fd7214b3caab82f560ffd079ddad0115\n```\n\nWhile this works, one downside with filtering the output is that\n`git-cat-file(1)` still has to traverse all the objects in the repository, even\nthe ones that the user is not interested in. This can be rather inefficient.\n\nWith this release, `git-cat-file(1)` now has the `--filter` option, which only\nshows objects matching the specified criteria. This is similar to the option of\nthe same name for `git-rev-list(1)`, but with only a subset of the filters\nsupported. The supported filters are `blob:none`, `blob:limit=`, as well as\n`object:type=`. Similar to the previous example, objects can be filtered by\ntype with Git directly:\n\n```shell\n$ git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname)' --filter='object:type=commit'\ncommit 0b07e71d14897f218f23d9a6e39605b466454ece\ncommit c999f781fd7214b3caab82f560ffd079ddad0115\n```\n\nNot only is it convenient for Git to handle the processing, for large\nrepositories with many objects, it is also potentially more efficient. If a\nrepository has bitmap indices, it becomes possible for Git to efficiently\nlookup objects of a specific type, and thus avoid scanning through the\npackfile, which leads to a significant speedup. Benchmarks conducted on the\n[Chromium repository](https://github.com/chromium/chromium.git) show\nsignificant improvements:\n\n```text\nBenchmark 1: git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --no-filter\n   Time (mean ± σ):     82.806 s ±  6.363 s    [User: 30.956 s, System: 8.264 s]\n   Range (min … max):   73.936 s … 89.690 s    10 runs\n\nBenchmark 2: git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=tag\n   Time (mean ± σ):      20.8 ms ±   1.3 ms    [User: 6.1 ms, System: 14.5 ms]\n   Range (min … max):    18.2 ms …  23.6 ms    127 runs\n\nBenchmark 3: git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=commit\n   Time (mean ± σ):      1.551 s ±  0.008 s    [User: 1.401 s, System: 0.147 s]\n   Range (min … max):    1.541 s …  1.566 s    10 runs\n\nBenchmark 4: git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=tree\n   Time (mean ± σ):     11.169 s ±  0.046 s    [User: 10.076 s, System: 1.063 s]\n   Range (min … max):   11.114 s … 11.245 s    10 runs\n\nBenchmark 5: git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=blob\n   Time (mean ± σ):     67.342 s ±  3.368 s    [User: 20.318 s, System: 7.787 s]\n   Range (min … max):   62.836 s … 73.618 s    10 runs\n\nBenchmark 6: git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=blob:none\n   Time (mean ± σ):     13.032 s ±  0.072 s    [User: 11.638 s, System: 1.368 s]\n   Range (min … max):   12.960 s … 13.199 s    10 runs\n\nSummary\n   git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=tag\n    74.75 ± 4.61 times faster than git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=commit\n   538.17 ± 33.17 times faster than git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=tree\n   627.98 ± 38.77 times faster than git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=blob:none\n  3244.93 ± 257.23 times faster than git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --filter=object:type=blob\n  3990.07 ± 392.72 times faster than git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects --unordered --buffer --no-filter\n\n```\n\nInterestingly, these results indicate that the computation time now scales with\nthe number of objects for a given type instead of the number of total objects\nin the packfile. The original mailing-list thread can be found\n[here](https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250221-pks-cat-file-object-type-filter-v1-0-0852530888e2@pks.im/).\n\n_This project was led by [Patrick Steinhardt](https://gitlab.com/pks-gitlab)._\n\n## Improved performance when generating bundles\n\nGit provides a means to generate an archive of a repository which contains a\nspecified set of references and accompanying reachable objects via the\n[`git-bundle(1)`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bundle) command. This operation\nis used by GitLab to generate repository backups and also as part of the\n[bundle-URI](https://git-scm.com/docs/bundle-uri) mechanism.\n\nFor large repositories containing millions of references, this operation can\ntake hours or even days. For example, with the main GitLab repository\n([gitlab-org/gitlab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab)), backup times were\naround 48 hours. Investigation revealed there was a performance bottleneck due\nto how Git was performing a check to avoid duplicated references being included\nin the bundle. The implementation used a nested `for` loop to iterate and\ncompare all listed references, leading to O(N^2) time complexity. This scales\nvery poorly as the number of references in a repository increases.\n\nIn this release, this issue was addressed by replacing the nested loops with a\nmap data structure leading to a significant speedup. The following benchmark\nthe performance improvement for creating a bundle with a repository containing\n100,000 references:\n\n```text\nBenchmark 1: bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = master)\n  Time (mean ± σ):     14.653 s ±  0.203 s    [User: 13.940 s, System: 0.762 s]\n  Range (min … max):   14.237 s … 14.920 s    10 runs\n\nBenchmark 2: bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = HEAD)\n  Time (mean ± σ):      2.394 s ±  0.023 s    [User: 1.684 s, System: 0.798 s]\n  Range (min … max):    2.364 s …  2.425 s    10 runs\n\nSummary\n  bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = HEAD) ran\n    6.12 ± 0.10 times faster than bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = master)\n\n```\n\nTo learn more, check out our blog post\n[How we decreased GitLab repo backup times from 48 hours to 41 minutes](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/how-we-decreased-gitlab-repo-backup-times-from-48-hours-to-41-minutes/).\nYou can also find the original mailing list thread\n[here](https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250401-488-generating-bundles-with-many-references-has-non-linear-performance-v1-0-6d23b2d96557@gmail.com/).\n\n_This project was led by [Karthik Nayak](https://gitlab.com/knayakgl)._\n\n## Better bundle URI unbundling\n\nThrough the [bundle URI](https://git-scm.com/docs/bundle-uri) mechanism in Git,\nlocations to fetch bundles from can be provided to clients with the goal to\nhelp speed up clones and fetches. When a client downloads a bundle, references\nunder `refs/heads/*` are copied from the bundle into the repository along with\ntheir accompanying objects. A bundle might contain additional references\noutside of `refs/heads/*` such as `refs/tags/*`, which are simply ignored when\nusing bundle URI on clone.\n\nIn Git 2.50, this restriction is lifted, and all references\nmatching `refs/*` contained in the downloaded bundle are copied.\n[Scott Chacon](https://github.com/schacon), who contributed this functionality,\ndemonstrates the difference when cloning\n[gitlab-org/gitlab-foss](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss):\n\n```shell\n$ git-v2.49 clone --bundle-uri=gitlab-base.bundle https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss.git gl-2.49\nCloning into 'gl2.49'...\nremote: Enumerating objects: 1092703, done.\nremote: Counting objects: 100% (973405/973405), done.\nremote: Compressing objects: 100% (385827/385827), done.\nremote: Total 959773 (delta 710976), reused 766809 (delta 554276), pack-reused 0 (from 0)\nReceiving objects: 100% (959773/959773), 366.94 MiB | 20.87 MiB/s, done.\nResolving deltas: 100% (710976/710976), completed with 9081 local objects.\nChecking objects: 100% (4194304/4194304), done.\nChecking connectivity: 959668, done.\nUpdating files: 100% (59972/59972), done.\n\n$ git-v2.50 clone --bundle-uri=gitlab-base.bundle https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss.git gl-2.50\nCloning into 'gl-2.50'...\nremote: Enumerating objects: 65538, done.\nremote: Counting objects: 100% (56054/56054), done.\nremote: Compressing objects: 100% (28950/28950), done.\nremote: Total 43877 (delta 27401), reused 25170 (delta 13546), pack-reused 0 (from 0)\nReceiving objects: 100% (43877/43877), 40.42 MiB | 22.27 MiB/s, done.\nResolving deltas: 100% (27401/27401), completed with 8564 local objects.\nUpdating files: 100% (59972/59972), done.\n```\n\nComparing these results, we see that Git 2.50 fetches 43,887 objects\n(40.42 MiB) after the bundle was extracted whereas Git 2.49 fetches a\ntotal of 959,773 objects (366.94 MiB). Git 2.50 fetches roughly 95% fewer\nobjects and 90% less data, which benefits both the client and the server. The\nserver needs to process a lot less data to the client and the client needs to\ndownload and extract less data. In the example provided by Scott this led to a\nspeedup of 25%.\n\nTo learn more, check out the corresponding\n[mailing-list thread](https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1897.git.git.1740489585344.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/).\n\n_This patch series was contributed by [Scott Chacon](https://github.com/schacon)._\n\n## Read more\n\nThis article highlighted just a few of the contributions made by GitLab and\nthe wider Git community for this latest release.

AI Hackathon 2026: Meet the winners","Nearly 7,000 developers built 600+ AI agents and flows on GitLab Duo Agent Platform. Find out who won and what they created.",[716],"Nick Veenhof","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1776457632/llddiylsgwuze0u1rjks.png","2026-04-22","AI writes code. That is expected now. But planning, security, compliance, and deployments? Those gaps remain. I have run contributor programs for years. I have never seen a community respond to technology like this.\n\nThat is why we opened [GitLab Duo Agent Platform](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-duo-agent-platform/) and invited developers worldwide to build AI agents that help teams ship secure software faster. Not chatbots that answer questions, but agents that jump into workflows, respond to events, and act on your behalf. The GitLab AI Hackathon ran from February 9 to March 25, 2026, on Devpost, the hackathon platform. Google Cloud and Anthropic joined as co-sponsors.\n\nWhen my team planned this hackathon with Google Cloud and Anthropic, I asked the judges to score four things: technical work, design, potential impact, and idea quality. We hoped for strong turnout. What we got surprised all of us. Nineteen judges spent 18 days reviewing every entry. Google Cloud and Anthropic provided judges, prizes, and cloud access. The community built hundreds of agents and flows because they wanted to solve these problems.\n\nNearly 7,000 developers showed up. They built 600+ agents and flows in weeks. The prizes across all categories totaled $65,000 from GitLab, Google Cloud, and Anthropic.\n\n\nIf you have ever watched a senior engineer leave and take half the team's knowledge with them, you know why the winning project hit so hard.\n\nRead on to find out what the community built.\n\n## Grand Prize: LORE\n\n[LORE](https://devpost.com/software/lore-living-organizational-record-engine), the Living Organizational Record Engine, uses eight agents with a router that sends each question to the right agent, logic to prevent circular loops in the knowledge graph, a visual dashboard, and carbon tracking. The command-line tool ships with 43 tests (yes, 43 tests in a hackathon project).\n\nLORE solves a real problem: the knowledge that lives in engineers' heads and walks out the door when they leave. In my experience, a hackathon project with 43 tests is rare. That many tests in a hackathon project tells you something about the team behind it.\n\nJudge April Guo (Anthropic) wrote: \"This feels like a product, not a hackathon project.\"\n\n\n### Google Cloud winners\n\n[Gitdefender](https://devpost.com/software/gitdefender) won the Google Cloud Grand Prize. It works inside code review workflows, finding and fixing security issues. It spots the bug, writes the fix, and opens the code review. No developer needs to step in.\n\n[Aegis](https://devpost.com/software/aegis-2m1oq0) won the Google Cloud Runner Up. It gives AI-powered explanations for every decision it makes, deployed to Google Cloud and ready for production use.\n\n### Anthropic winners\n\n[GraphDev](https://devpost.com/software/graphdev) won the Anthropic Grand Prize. It maps code links and shows how systems change over time. Judge Aboobacker MK (GitLab) noted it was \"in sync with our work on GitLab knowledge graph.\" Judge Ayush Billore (GitLab) wrote: \"Loved the demo and UX, super useful for understanding how the system evolved and what gets impacted by changes.\" You can see the full impact of a change before you make it.\n\n[DocSync](https://devpost.com/software/pipeheal) won the Anthropic Runner Up. It uses three agents: Detector, Writer, and Reviewer. If DocSync is confident in the fix, it opens a code review. If not, it creates an issue for a human to check.\n\n## Category winners\n\n### Most Technically Impressive\n\nDatabase migrations break things. [Time-Traveler](https://devpost.com/software/time-traveler-w3cxp0) creates a safe copy of your production setup, runs the migration against that copy, and reports the result. It runs five agents connected by a bridge, with real Google Cloud deployment, real PostgreSQL migrations, and real data.\n\n### Most Impactful\n\n[RedAgent](https://devpost.com/software/redagent) checks AI-generated security reports, closing the trust gap between AI findings and developer action. If your team uses AI for security scanning, you know this problem. I have seen teams dismiss AI findings because they could not verify them. RedAgent gives teams a way to check AI output before it reaches developers.\n\n### Easiest to Use\n\n[Launch Control](https://devpost.com/software/launch-control-bgp8az) delivers polished UX and solid infrastructure, and scored well on sustainability too.\n\n## The sustainability signal\n\nFive projects won prizes or bonuses for environmental impact. Software delivery has a carbon cost as CI/CD pipelines, but now LLMs also run compute at scale. We created the Green Agent category to challenge developers to measure and reduce that footprint. Stacy Cline and Kim Buncle from GitLab's sustainability team helped judge the Green Agent category. \n\n### Green Agent prize\n\n[GreenPipe](https://devpost.com/software/greenpipe) scans CI/CD pipelines for environmental impact and produces carbon footprint reports. Judges Kim Buncle and Rajesh Agadi (Google) both backed the project.\n\n### Sustainable Design bonus\n\nSustainable Design bonuses were awarded to the projects with exceptional sustainability practices in their design, from model optimization techniques to energy-efficient architecture choices.\n\n* [BugFlow](https://devpost.com/software/bugflow-ai-regression-detective-ci-optimizer) turned one bug report into 10 fixes in 20 minutes. \n* [DELTA Cyber Reasoning](https://devpost.com/software/delta-cyber-reasoning-system) is automated fuzz testing for security. \n* [CarbonLint](https://devpost.com/software/carbonlint) applied code analysis to energy use.\n* [TFGuardian](https://devpost.com/software/tfguardian) features a carbon footprint analyzer, among other agents.\n\nCongratulations on all the Sustainable Design bonus winners! \n\nJudge Jens-Joris Decorte (TechWolf) cited the result: Costs dropped from $556 to $18 per month, a 96% carbon cut (that is a $538 monthly saving with a sustainability label on it).\n\n## Honorable mentions and the long tail\n\nSix projects received honorable mentions:\n\n\n- [SecurityMonkey](https://devpost.com/software/securitymonkey) injects known vulnerabilities into a test branch and scores how well your security scanners catch them.\n- [stregent](https://devpost.com/software/stregent) monitors CI/CD pipelines and lets developers investigate and merge fixes from WhatsApp without opening a laptop.\n- [Compliance Sentinel](https://devpost.com/software/compliance-sentinel-autonomous-devsecops-governance) scores every merge request for compliance risk and blocks the merge if critical violations are detected.\n- [Carbon Tracker](https://devpost.com/software/carbon-tracker-ij25kf) calculates the carbon footprint of each CI/CD pipeline job and posts optimization tips on the merge request.\n- [RepoWarden](https://devpost.com/software/docuguard) is the first Living Specification Engine, an AI system that captures why code was written, not just what it does.\n- [MR Compliance Auditor](https://devpost.com/software/mr-compliance-auditor) collects evidence across merge requests, maps it to SOC 2 controls, and streams compliance scores to a live dashboard.\n\nMy favorite quote from the judging came from Luca Chun Lun Lit (Anthropic), who described stregent's mobile-first approach: \"Being able to essentially code from your phone is a next level in the engineering experience.\"\n\n> Explore the 600+ entries in the [project gallery](https://gitlab.devpost.com/project-gallery).\n\n## What comes next\n\nEvery agent in this hackathon worked within a single project. They still delivered impressive results. Some participants ran a local knowledge graph alongside their agents to surface code relationships and dependencies within the repo. LORE captures project history. Gitdefender finds vulnerabilities. Pairing agents with richer local context is already helping contributors build sharper tools. The next hackathon will build on what contributors are already doing with richer context.

Let's look at a few notable highlights from this release, which includes contributions from the Git team at GitLab.\n\n## Pluggable Object Databases\n\nGit already has the ability to store references with either the \"files\" backend or with the [\"reftable\" backend](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-the-git-reftable-format/). This is achieved by having proper abstractions in Git that allows us to have different backends.\n\nBut references are just one of the two important types of data that are stored in repositories, with the other being objects. Objects are stored in the object database, and each object database in turn consists of multiple object sources where objects can be read from or written to. Each object source either stores individual objects as so-called \"loose\" objects, or compresses multiple objects into a \"packfile\" in your `.git/objects` directory.\n\nUntil now, however, these sources did not have a proper abstraction boundary, so the storage format for objects is completely hardcoded into Git. But this is finally changing with pluggable object databases! The concept is straightforward and similar to how we did this for references in the past: Instead of having hardcoded code paths for how to store objects, we introduce an abstraction boundary that allows us to have different backends for storing objects.\n\nWhile the idea is simple, the implementation is not, as we have hardcoded assumptions about the storage formats used in Git all over the place. In fact, we have started working on this topic in Git 2.48, which was released in January 2025. Initially, we focused on making object-related subsystems self-contained and creating proper subsystems for the existing backends that we had in Git.\n\nWith Git 2.54, we have now reached a milestone: The object database backend is now pluggable. Not all of Git's functionality is covered yet, but introducing an alternate backend that handles a meaningful subset of operations is now a realistic undertaking.\n\nFor now, only local workflows like creating commits, showing commit graphs, or performing merges will work with such an alternative implementation. This notably excludes anything that interacts with a remote, such as when you want to fetch or push changes. Regardless, this is the culmination of almost two years of work spanning across almost 400 commits that have been merged upstream, and we will of course continue to iterate on this effort.\n\nSo why does this matter? The idea is that it becomes practical to introduce new storage formats into Git. Examples could be:\n- A storage format that is able to store large binary files more efficiently\n  than packfiles do today\n\n- A storage format that is custom-tailored for GitLab to ensure that we can\n  serve repositories to our users even more efficiently than we currently can\n\n\nThis is a large-scale effort that is likely to shape the future of Git and GitLab.\n\n*This project was led by [Patrick Steinhardt](https://gitlab.com/pks-gitlab).*\n\n## Easier editing of your commit history\n\nIn many software development projects it is common practice for developers to not only polish the code they want to contribute, but to also polish the commit history so that it becomes easy to review. The result is a set of small and atomic commits that each do one thing, with a good commit message that describes the intent of the commit as well as specific nuances.\n\nOf course, more often than not, these atomic commits are not something that just happens naturally during the development process. Instead, the author of the changes will gain a better understanding of what they are while iterating on them, and the way to split up the commits will become clearer over time. Furthermore, the subsequent review process may result in feedback that requires changes to the crafted commits.\n\nThe consequence of this process is that the developer will have to rewrite their commit history many times during the development process. Historically, Git has allowed for this use case via [interactive rebases](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_interactive_mode). These interactive rebases are an extremely powerful tool: They let you reorder commits, rewrite commit messages, squash multiple commits together, or perform arbitrary edits of any commit.\n\nBut they are also somewhat arcane and hard to understand. The user needs to figure out the base commit for the rebase, they need to understand how to edit a somewhat obscure \"instruction sheet,\" and they need to be aware of how the stateful rebasing process works. For example, users are presented with an instruction sheet similar to the following when rebasing a topic branch:\n\n```shell\npick b60623f382 # t: detect errors outside of test cases # empty\npick b80cb55882 # t: prepare `test_match_signal ()` calls for `set -e`\npick 5ffe397f30 # t: prepare `test_must_fail ()` for `set -e`\npick 5e9b0cf5e1 # t: prepare `stop_git_daemon ()` for `set -e`\npick 299561e7a2 # t: prepare `git config --unset` calls for `set -e`\npick ed0e7ca2b5 # t: detect errors outside of test cases\n```\n\nSo while interactive rebases are powerful, they are also quite intimidating for the average user.\n\nIt doesn't have to be this way, though. Tools like [Jujutsu](https://www.jj-vcs.dev/latest/) provide interfaces that are much easier to use compared to Git, as you can for example simply execute `jj split` to split up a commit into two commits. With Git and interactive rebases, this use case requires a lot of different steps with confusing command line arguments.\n\nWe have thus taken inspiration from Jujutsu and have introduced a new git-history(1) command into Git that is the foundation for better history editing. For now, this command has two subcommands:\n\n- `git history reword` allows you to easily rewrite a commit message. You simply\n  give it the commit whose message you want to reword, Git asks you for the new\n  commit message, and that's it.\n\n- `git history split` allows you to split up a commit into two, which is\n  inspired by `jj split`. You give it a commit, Git asks you which changes to\n  stage into which commit and for the two commit messages, and then you're done.\n\n\nThis is of course only a start, and we want to add additional subcommands over time. For example:\n\n- `git history fixup` to take staged changes and automatically amend them to a\n  specific commit\n\n- `git history drop` to remove a commit\n- `git history reorder` to reorder the sequence of commits\n- `git history squash` to squash a range of commits\n\nBut that's not all! In addition to making history editing easy, this new command also knows to automatically rebase all of your local branches that previously included this commit. So that means that you can even edit a commit that is not on the current branch, and all branches that contain the commit will be rewritten.\n\nIt may seem puzzling at first that Git is automatically rebasing dependent branches, as that is a significant diversion from how git-rebase(1) works. But this is part of a bigger effort to bring better support for Stacked Diffs to Git, which are a way to create a series of multiple dependent branches that can be reviewed independently, but that together work towards a bigger goal.\n\n*This project was led by [Patrick Steinhardt](https://gitlab.com/pks-gitlab) with support from [Elijah Newren](https://github.com/newren).*\n\n## A native replacement for git-sizer(1)\n\nThe size of a Git repository is an important factor that determines how well Git and GitLab can handle it. But size alone is not the only factor, as the performance of a repository is ultimately a combination of multiple different dimensions:\n\n- The depth of the commit history\n- The shape of the directory structure\n- The size of files stored in the repository\n- The number of references\n\nThese are only some of the dimensions one needs to consider when trying to predict whether Git will be able to handle a repository well.\n\nBut while it is clear that the mere repository size is insufficient, Git itself does not provide any tooling that gives the user an easy overview of these metrics. Instead, users are forced to rely on third-party tools like [git-sizer(1)](https://github.com/github/git-sizer) to fill this gap. This tool does an excellent job at surfacing this information, but it is not part of Git itself and thus needs to be installed separately.\n\nObservability of repository internals is critical to us at GitLab, so we introduced a [new `git repo structure` command into Git 2.52](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/whats-new-in-git-2-52-0/#new-subcommand-for-git-repo1-to-display-repository-metrics) to display repository metrics, which we have extended in Git 2.53 to [show inflated and disk sizes for objects by type](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/whats-new-in-git-2-53-0/#more-data-collected-in-git-repo-structure).\n\nIn Git 2.54, we are now iterating some more on this command so that we don't only show the overall size, but also show the largest objects by type:\n\n```shell\n$ git clone https://gitlab.com/git-scm/git.git\n$ cd git\n$ git repo structure\nCounting objects: 410445, done.\n| Repository structure      | Value       |\n| ------------------------- | ----------- |\n| * References              |             |\n|   * Count                 |    1.01 k   |\n|     * Branches            |       1     |\n|     * Tags                |    1.00 k   |\n|     * Remotes             |       9     |\n|     * Others              |       0     |\n|                           |             |\n| * Reachable objects       |             |\n|   * Count                 |  410.45 k   |\n|     * Commits             |   83.99 k   |\n|     * Trees               |  164.46 k   |\n|     * Blobs               |  161.00 k   |\n|     * Tags                |    1.00 k   |\n|   * Inflated size         |    7.46 GiB |\n|     * Commits             |   57.53 MiB |\n|     * Trees               |    2.33 GiB |\n|     * Blobs               |    5.07 GiB |\n|     * Tags                |  737.48 KiB |\n|   * Disk size             |  181.37 MiB |\n|     * Commits             |   33.11 MiB |\n|     * Trees               |   40.58 MiB |\n|     * Blobs               |  107.11 MiB |\n|     * Tags                |  582.67 KiB |\n|                           |             |\n| * Largest objects         |             |\n|   * Commits               |             |\n|     * Maximum size    [1] |   17.23 KiB |\n|     * Maximum parents [2] |      10     |\n|   * Trees                 |             |\n|     * Maximum size    [3] |   58.85 KiB |\n|     * Maximum entries [4] |    1.18 k   |\n|   * Blobs                 |             |\n|     * Maximum size    [5] | 1019.51 KiB |\n|   * Tags                  |             |\n\n|     * Maximum size    [6] |    7.13 KiB |\n\n[1] f6ecb603ff8af608a417d7724727d6bc3a9dbfdf\n[2] 16d7601e176cd53f3c2f02367698d06b85e08879\n[3] 203ee97047731b9fd3ad220faa607b6677861a0d\n[4] 203ee97047731b9fd3ad220faa607b6677861a0d\n[5] aa96f8bc361fd84a1459440f1e7de02ab0dc3543\n[6] 07e38db6a5a03690034d27104401f6c8ea40f1fc\n```\n\nWith this information we're now almost feature-complete as compared to git-sizer(1). We're not done yet, though — we plan to eventually add additional features such as:\n\n- Severity levels as they exist in git-sizer(1)\n- Graphs that show you the distribution of object sizes\n- The ability to scan objects reachable via a subset of references\n\n*This project was led by [Justin Tobler](https://gitlab.com/justintobler).*\n\n## New infrastructure for repository maintenance\n\nWhenever you write data into a Git repository you will typically end up adding more loose objects. Left unmanaged, this leads to a large number of separate files in your `.git/objects/` directory, which slows down several operations that want to access many objects at once. Git thus regularly packs these objects into \"packfiles\" to ensure good performance.\n\nThis isn't the only data structure that may become inefficient over time: Updating references may create loose references, reflogs will need trimming, worktrees may become stale, and caches like commit-graphs need to be refreshed regularly.\n\nAll of these tasks have historically been managed by [git-gc(1)](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-gc). However, this tool has a monolithic architecture, where it basically executes all of the tasks required in sequential order. This foundation is hard to extend and doesn't give the end user much flexibility in case they want to slightly modify how housekeeping is performed.\n\nThe Git project introduced the new [git-maintenance(1)](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-maintenance) tool in Git 2.29. In contrast to git-gc(1), git-maintenance(1) is not monolithic but is instead structured around tasks. These tasks are freely configurable by the user so that the user can control which tasks are running, giving them much more fine-grained control over repository maintenance.\n\nEventually, Git has migrated to use git-maintenance(1) by default. But in the beginning, the only task that was default-enabled was the git-gc(1) task, which as you might have guessed, simply executes `git gc`. To manually run maintenance using this new command you can execute `git maintenance run`, but Git knows to execute this automatically after several other commands.\n\nOver the last couple releases we have implemented all the individual tasks that are supported by git-gc(1) in git-maintenance(1) to ensure that we have feature parity between these two tools.\n\nFurthermore, we have implemented a new task that uses Git's modern architecture for repacking objects with [geometric compaction](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-repack#Documentation/git-repack.txt---geometricfactor).\nGeometric compaction is a much better fit for large monorepos, and with our efforts to make them work well with partial clones [that landed in Git 2.53](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/whats-new-in-git-2-53-0/#geometric-repacking-support-with-promisor-remotes) they are now a full replacement for our previous repacking strategy in Git.\n\nIn Git 2.54, we have now reached another significant milestone: Instead of using the git-gc(1)-based strategy by default, we are now using geometric repacking with fine-grained individual maintenance tasks! Besides being more efficient for large monorepos, it also ensures that we have an easier foundation to iterate on going forward.\n\n*The git-maintenance(1) infrastructure was originally implemented by [Derrick Stolee](https://github.com/derrickstolee) and geometric maintenance was introduced by [Taylor Blau](https://github.com/ttaylorr). The effort to introduce the new fine-grained tasks and migrate to the new maintenance strategy was led by [Patrick Steinhardt](https://gitlab.com/pks-gitlab).*\n\n## Read more\n\nThis article highlighted just a few of the contributions made by GitLab and the wider Git community for this latest release.

Let's look at a few notable highlights from this release, which includes\ncontributions from the Git team at GitLab.\n\n## Geometric repacking support with promisor remotes\n\nNewly written objects in a Git repository are often stored as individual loose files. To ensure good performance and optimal use of disk space, these loose objects are regularly compressed into so-called packfiles. The number of packfiles in a repository grows over time as a result of the user’s activities, like writing new commits or fetching from a remote. As the number of packfiles in a repository increases, Git has to do more work to look up individual objects. Therefore, to preserve optimal repository performance, packfiles are periodically repacked via git-repack(1) to consolidate the objects into fewer packfiles. When repacking there are two strategies: “all-into-one” and “geometric”.\n\nThe all-into-one strategy is fairly straightforward and the current default. As its name implies, all objects in the repository are packed into a single packfile. From a performance perspective this is great for the repository as Git only has to scan through a single packfile when looking up objects. The main downside of such a repacking strategy is that computing a single packfile for a repository can take a significant amount of time for large repositories.\n\nThe geometric strategy helps mitigate this concern by maintaining a geometric progression of packfiles based on their size instead of always repacking into a single packfile. To explain more plainly, when repacking Git maintains a set of packfiles ordered by size where each packfile in the sequence is expected to be at least twice the size of the preceding packfile. If a packfile in the sequence violates this property, packfiles are combined as needed until the progression is restored. This strategy has the advantage of still minimizing the number of packfiles in a repository while also minimizing the amount of work that must be done for most repacking operations.\n\nOne problem with the geometric repacking strategy was that it was not compatible with partial clones. Partial clones allow the user to clone only parts of a repository by, for example, skipping all blobs larger than 1 megabyte. This can significantly reduce the size of a repository, and Git knows how to backfill missing objects that it needs to access at a later point in time.\n\nThe result is a repository that is missing some objects, and any object that may not be fully connected is stored in a “promisor” packfile.  When repacking, this promisor property needs to be retained going forward for packfiles containing a promisor object so it is known whether a missing object is expected and can be backfilled from the promisor remote. With an all-into-one repack, Git knows how to handle promisor objects properly and stores them in a separate promisor packfile. Unfortunately, the geometric repacking strategy did not know to give special treatment to promisor packfiles and instead would merge them with normal packfiles without considering whether they reference promisor objects. Luckily, due to a bug the underlying git-pack-objects(1) dies when using geometric repacking in a partial clone repository. So this means repositories in this configuration were not able to be repacked anyways which isn’t great, but better than repository corruption.\n\nWith the release of Git 2.53, geometric repacking now works with partial clone repositories. When performing a geometric repack, promisor packfiles are handled separately in order to preserve the promisor marker and repacked following a separate geometric progression. With this fix, the geometric strategy moves closer towards becoming the default repacking strategy.

Be sure to check out that post for a more detailed explanation of these commands, how they are used, and the changes being made with regards to signatures.\n\nTo quickly recap, git-fast-import(1) provides a backend to efficiently import data into a repository and is used by tools such as [git-filter-repo(1)](https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo) to help rewrite the history of a repository in bulk. In the Git 2.52 release, git-fast-import(1) learned the `--signed-commits=\u003Cmode>` option similar to the same option in git-fast-export(1). With this option, it became possible to unconditionally retain or strip signatures from commits/tags.\n\nIn situations where only part of the repository history has been rewritten, any signature for rewritten commits/tags becomes invalid. This means git-fast-import(1) is limited to either stripping all signatures or keeping all signatures even if they have become invalid. But retaining invalid signatures doesn’t make much sense, so rewriting history with git-repo-filter(1) results in all signatures being stripped, even if the underlying commit/tag is not rewritten. This is unfortunate because if the commit/tag is unchanged, its signature is still valid and thus there is no real reason to strip it. What is really needed is a means to preserve signatures for unchanged objects, but strip invalid ones.\n\nWith the release of Git 2.53, the git-fast-import(1) `--signed-commits=\u003Cmode>` option has learned a new `strip-if-invalid` mode which, when specified, only strips signatures from commits that become invalid due to being rewritten. Thus, with this option it becomes possible to preserve some commit signatures when using git-fast-import(1). This is a critical step towards providing the foundation for tools like git-repo-filter(1) to preserve valid signatures and eventually re-sign invalid signatures.\n\nThis project was led by [Christian Couder](https://gitlab.com/chriscool).\n\n## More data collected in git-repo-structure\n\nIn the Git 2.52 release, the “structure” subcommand was introduced to git-repo(1). The intent of this command was to collect information about the repository and eventually become a native replacement for tools such as [git-sizer(1)](https://github.com/github/git-sizer). At GitLab, we host some extremely large repositories, and having insight into the general structure of a repository is critical to understand its performance characteristics. In this release, the command now also collects total size information for reachable objects in a repository to help understand the overall size of the repository. In the output below, you can see the command now collects both the total inflated and disk sizes of reachable objects by object type.\n\n```shell\n$ git repo structure\n\n| Repository structure | Value      |\n| -------------------- | ---------- |\n| * References         |            |\n|   * Count            |   1.78 k   |\n|     * Branches       |      5     |\n|     * Tags           |   1.03 k   |\n|     * Remotes        |    749     |\n|     * Others         |      0     |\n|                      |            |\n| * Reachable objects  |            |\n|   * Count            | 421.37 k   |\n|     * Commits        |  88.03 k   |\n|     * Trees          | 169.95 k   |\n|     * Blobs          | 162.40 k   |\n|     * Tags           |    994     |\n|   * Inflated size    |   7.61 GiB |\n|     * Commits        |  60.95 MiB |\n|     * Trees          |   2.44 GiB |\n|     * Blobs          |   5.11 GiB |\n|     * Tags           | 731.73 KiB |\n|   * Disk size        | 301.50 MiB |\n|     * Commits        |  33.57 MiB |\n|     * Trees          |  77.92 MiB |\n|     * Blobs          | 189.44 MiB |\n|     * Tags           | 578.13 KiB |\n```\n\nThe keen-eyed among you may have also noticed that the size values in the table output are also now listed in a more human-friendly manner with units appended. In subsequent releases we hope to further expand this command's output to provide additional data points such as the largest individual objects in the repository.\n\nThis project was led by [Justin Tobler](https://gitlab.com/justintobler).\n\n## Read more\n\nThis article highlighted just a few of the contributions made by GitLab and\nthe wider Git community for this latest release.
