Gitslice docs

Start Here

Use this path if you want to get productive before learning the whole model. Gitslice gives you repository-like slices over one global source graph, and changesets are how work lands.

First workflow

  1. 1

    Sign in

    Authenticate once, then use the same identity for CLI and web.

    gs auth login
    gs auth status
  2. 2

    Open your home slice

    Your personal account has a `home` slice rooted at /<you>. Use it for a first workflow.

    gs init <you>:home
    # example: gs init nic:home
  3. 3

    Make a local edit

    Edit files normally, then inspect what the workspace will send.

    gs status
    gs diff
  4. 4

    Create and submit a changeset

    A changeset is the review and submit unit. When it lands, it is included in the accepted main tree.

    gs create --message "my first change"
    gs submit
    gs status

Understand the model

Learn the native nouns once the first workflow makes sense.
