libprojfs
A Linux projected filesystem library, similar in concept to the Windows Projected File System and developed in conjunction with the VFSForGit project.
Design
See the design document.
Getting Started
TBD
Contributing
TBD with Code of Conduct
Licensing
libprojfs is licensed under the LGPL v2.1. See the NOTICE file for a list of other licenses used in the project, and in the comments in each file for the licenses applicable to them.
Development Roadmap
We are developing the libprojfs library first, using FUSE to prototype and test its performance, before migrating functionality into a Linux kernel module (assuming that proves to be necessary to meet our performance criteria).
The VFSForGit API, which is currently supported through the use of
the --enable-vfs-api configuration option to libprojfs, may at some
point refactored out of this library entirely and handled exclusively
within Linux-specific code in the VFSForGit project. However, for
the moment it has proven efficient to keep it within this library
while libprojfs undergoes rapid early development.
Authors
The libprojfs library is currently maintained and developed by several members of GitHub's Engineering organization, including:
