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

    Install gs

    One command for Linux and macOS: downloads the latest prebuilt binary, verifies its checksum, and installs it to ~/.local/bin. For Windows, go install, or building from source, see the CLI Reference.

    curl -fsSL https://gitslice.io/install.sh | sh
gs version
  2. 2

    Sign in

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

    gs auth login
gs auth status
  3. 3

    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
  4. 4

    Make a local edit

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

    gs status
gs diff
  5. 5

    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
