About
Riftri creates lightweight Git worktrees using native copy-on-write filesystem features (APFS clones, Linux reflinks, ReFS block cloning, or OverlayFS) so that unchanged files are shared at the filesystem level instead of duplicated. This lets developers or parallel coding agents spin up many real worktrees, such as ten at once, while cutting disk usage by roughly 87% in the creator's example (774 MiB down to 101 MiB), without any wrapper or virtual filesystem layer.
Why it made the leaderboard
Running many parallel coding agents each in their own worktree normally multiplies disk usage; this gives real filesystem-level cloning instead of full copies, so ten worktrees cost a fraction of the space with no change to how agents use Git.
