Show HN: Legit, Open source Git-based Version control for AI agents
We are building Legit, an open source version control and collaboration layer for AI agents and AI native applications.
You can find the repo here https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo and the website here https://legitcontrol.com
Over the last years, we worked on multiple developer tools and AI driven products. As soon as we started letting agents modify real files and business critical data, one problem kept showing up. We could not reliably answer what changed, why it changed, or how to safely undo it.
Today, most AI tools either run without real guardrails or store their state in proprietary databases that are hard to inspect, audit, or migrate. Once agents start collaborating on shared data, you are often just crossing your fingers and hoping nothing goes wrong.
We noticed something interesting. Developers do not have this problem when collaborating on code, and agent like workflows took off there first. The reason is relatively simple. Git already solves coordination, history, review, and rollback.
That insight led us to build Legit. We bring Git style versioning and collaboration to AI applications and to most file formats. Every change an agent makes is tracked. Every action is inspectable, reviewable, and reversible. No hidden state. No black box history.
Legit works as a lightweight SDK that AI apps can embed anywhere the filesystem works. It handles versioning, Sync, rollback, and access control for agens. Everything lives in a repository that you can host yourself or on any Git hosting provider you already trust.
We believe the right way to scale AI collaboration is not to hide what agents do, but to let developers and users see, review, and control every change. Legit is our attempt to bring the discipline, visibility, and safety of modern developer workflows to write enabled AI applications.
