Oak is version control built for people and agents working in the same repository. The project argues that git was not designed for how agents work, and reports snapshots and status checks running up to 95% faster than git in its own benchmarks. You keep your model and your IDE — you just tell your agents to use Oak. It installs from the command line and is positioned as an agentic substrate rather than a drop-in git clone.
