qwe (pronounced kiwi) makes version control effortless. Track individual files with precision, group them seamlessly, and commit or revert changes individually or together — all in one lightweight, intuitive tool built for speed and simplicity.
- File-based version control — track versions of specific files independently.
- Easy commits — record changes with a simple commit message.
- Revert anytime — roll back a single file without affecting others.
- Grouped snapshot — Track multiple files with ease for collective commit and revert.
- Simple and fast — minimal setup, no complex repository management.
qwe allows you to track individual files separately or bundle related files into a single, named snapshot for easy tracking and rollback.
Group Creation: Create a logical group (e.g., "Project X Assets," "Configuration Files") that contains multiple individual files.
Unified Tracking: When you take a snapshot of the group, qwe captures the current state of all files within it. This makes rolling back a set of related changes incredibly simple.
