aigVersion Control for the AI Age

Ever run git blame and found a useless commit message from 6 months ago? aig captures the intent, reasoning, and AI conversation behind every change — so you always know why code exists.

Full Guide
Why not Git?
🔍

git blame tells you WHO. aig why tells you WHY.

Trace any line back to the intent that created it, the semantic changes around it, and the conversation that shaped it.

🌳

Semantic Diffs, Not Line Noise

See 'function authenticate() added' instead of 300 lines of red and green. Supports TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, C#, C++, and Ruby.

💬

AI Conversations Auto-Captured

AI conversations are auto-captured into your version history. Supports Claude Code out of the box, with a generic import format for any AI tool.

📦

Works With Your Existing Repo

Run 'aig import' in any git repo to build an intent graph from your commit history. Non-destructive — your git history is untouched.

🤝

Fully Git Compatible

aig layers on top of git. Push, pull, branch, merge — everything works. Your repo stays a valid git repo. Teammates who don't use aig are unaffected.

🚀

Share Context Across Clones

aig push/pull syncs intent history via git notes. Clone a repo, run 'aig pull', and the full reasoning behind every change is there.

This Is What You'll See ​

Real output from aig running on its own repository.
