B8Grid Source Graph change graph with Git compatibility shown as an export lane
BB8Grid Source Graph

Git alternative

Git compatibility without letting Git define the ceiling.

B8Grid Source Graph gives teams familiar source affordances while moving the contract toward verified authorship, reversible actions, and tamper-evident history.

01

Install

Download a signed B8Grid CLI artifact from B8Grid Releases.
02

Log in

Use device-style Cloud Trust auth and keep token material out of project config.
03

Initialize

Run source init so the local workspace and cloud project become one visible spine.
04

Operate

Review, sync, audit, and manage the same Source Graph actions from CLI or web.

Teams outgrowing Git workflows

One user loop, two trusted surfaces

B8Grid Source Graph gives teams familiar source affordances while moving the contract toward verified authorship, reversible actions, and tamper-evident history.

  • Native remotes, proposals, review threads, policy, and merge queues live in Source Graph.
  • Git import and export remain compatibility bridges for adoption.
  • Metadata-only hosted pages keep proprietary source text out of unsafe surfaces.

System checklist

Done vs left

Done

  • Local Source Graph primitives, review proposals, native remotes, and Git compatibility.
  • Hosted product and management pages with metadata-only source safety.
  • Signed local actor sessions and focused hosted acceptance gates.

Left

  • Production B8Grid Releases signing infrastructure and installer mirrors.
  • External IdP, KMS, WAF/rate limits, audit export, support, billing, and deployed smoke evidence.
  • Promotion remains blocked: generalAvailability is false and production-paas-alpha is Not GA.
