qwe (pronounced kiwi) is a simple yet powerful version/revision control system that tracks individual files, not entire projects.
Unlike Git, which manages repositories as a whole, qwe provides a more granular approach — perfect for quick file-level tracking, experimentation, or standalone scripts.
- File-based version control — track versions of specific files independently.
- Easy commits — record changes with a simple commit message.
- Revert anytime — roll back a single file without affecting others.
- Simple and fast — minimal setup, no complex repository management.
You can install qwe in two ways:
go install github.com/mainak55512/qwe@latest
Make sure your Go environment’s GOPATH/bin is added to your system PATH.
Download the prebuilt binary for your platform from the Releases section of this repository and add it to your PATH.
