sicktiergit

A revolutionary version control system that redefines simplicity by removing it entirely.

sicktiergit is a next-generation distributed version control system designed to fix everything wrong with Git by making it significantly worse in every measurable way.

Why sicktiergit?

Git was fine — until you had to use it.

We believe developers deserve a version control system that truly captures the emotional rollercoaster of modern software development. That's why sicktiergit was built from scratch, in a custom language we no longer remember.

sicktiergit embraces chaos as a feature, not a bug. Every command is a learning opportunity, every conflict a team-building exercise, and every detached HEAD a spiritual awakening.

Version Control Tier List

That's right. While other version control systems struggle in lower tiers, sicktiergit has achieved the prestigious SICK TIER status.

Key Features

Unintuitive by Design – If you think you understand it, you're wrong.
Predictably Unpredictable – Consistently slow, beautifully confusing.
Conflict-Driven Development – Merges are opportunities for personal growth.
AI-Assisted Blame – Automatically assigns fault to your least favorite teammate.
Philosophical Commit Messages – Your code doesn't matter, but your journey does.
Integrated Therapy Mode™ – Because you'll need it.
Quantum Branching – Exists in multiple states until you check it out (then it crashes).
Time-Travel Debugging – Go back in time to when you thought this was a good idea.
Main/Master Ambiguity – Default branch randomly alternates. Good luck with your CI/CD pipelines.

Installation

From Source

git clone https://github.com/sicktiergit/sicktiergit.git
cd sicktiergit
make deps
make build
sudo make install

⚠️ Warning: Installation is permanent. Uninstallation procedure lost in a merge conflict.

The binary will be installed as sg for quick access.

See INSTALL.md for detailed installation instructions.

Quick Start

Initialize your descent into chaos:

sg init my-chaotic-repo

sg init demo

You are now the proud owner of a repository that will haunt you for years.

Commit your first mistake:

sg commit -m "Initial panic"

Push your code directly to production:

sg push --force --maybe

Seek emotional support:

sg therapy --crisis

Philosophy

At sicktiergit, we don't believe in "clean history." We believe in authentic history — the kind filled with pain, confusion, and force pushes.

Traditional version control focuses on code. sicktiergit focuses on character development.

If Git is a tool, sicktiergit is a lifestyle.

Contributing

All contributions are welcome.

Pull requests will be rebased, rejected, and rewritten until we forget what the original issue was.

Please ensure your commits follow our philosophy:

No squashing – Every mistake deserves to be immortalized
Force push encouraged – Especially on shared branches
Merge conflicts required – If it merges cleanly, try harder

Development Setup
