Better v0.2.0

Better v0.2.0

Better is source control built for coding agents working in parallel. Version 0.2.0 makes everyday coordination clearer, upgrades safer, and shared Better repositories faster and more reliable.

What is new

• better status now focuses on active work, so developers and agents can see what needs attention without scrolling through years of session history.
• Existing Better repositories upgrade automatically while keeping their sessions, checkpoints, releases, and stored files intact.
• better update can restart a managed Better daemon after upgrading, with clear recovery instructions when manual action is needed.
• Remote sync is faster and more resilient for large repositories, with visible progress and safe retries after an interrupted transfer.
• Self-hosted remotes can use a different credential for each repository.
• Better periodically checks for a new version and prints a short upgrade notice when one is available.
• macOS and Linux downloads include checksums and provenance files so you can verify what you install.

Before upgrading

Existing Better repositories upgrade automatically the first time v0.2.0 opens them. After a repository is upgraded, use Better v0.2.0 or newer with that repository. Upgrade every machine that shares a Better remote before resuming sync.

Upgrade

Curl-installed users can run:

better update

Homebrew users can run:

brew update
brew upgrade better

New installations and full documentation are available from the Better Source Control repository and betterforagents.com.

Better Source Control v0.1.0-rc.1

Better is agent-native source control for high-parallelism software work. It gives coding agents first-class sessions, checkpoints, workspaces, composition checks, release frontiers, and native remote sync.

Install Better

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/logesh45/better-source-control/main/install.sh | bash

Or with Homebrew:

brew tap logesh45/better-source-control https://github.com/logesh45/better-source-control
brew install logesh45/better-source-control/better

Install The Agent Skill

npx skills add logesh45/better-source-control

Self-Host A Better Remote

docker compose up -d --build

Then configure a repo:

better remote init local --url http://127.0.0.1:8787
better sync push

Status

This is an early release candidate for experimentation with agent-heavy development workflows. The storage and sync protocol may still change before a stable release.
