If the author doesn’t specifically make a declaration in the readme, is there a way to guess how “vibe coded” a project is?
Like I want to know if there is anyone actually in charge… A human who knows at least how to program their own program.

Perforce.
Isn’t that just git with bloat though? You can use git from the command line or in your ide without ever touching the hub.
Hell, half the time my remotes are just another computer on my network.
What? No, perforce is a completely different version control system with a completely different CLI than git.
I haven’t used it, but the descriptions were talking about managing git repos. Is it like a fork of SVN or Fossil or something?
I can understand the marketing material being vague about the backing and just using the word “git repo” for a vc system.
Edit: I looked into it more and it seems like it’s specifically designed for multimedia version control at a large scale. Seems interesting, definitely has more in common with SVN than Git due to the central server architecture.
Still weird that Wikipedia and even some of their marketing material uses the term “git repo” so often when it isn’t git. Even if it can support git repos on the server.
No, Perforce has been around for ages, it’s older than git, svn, and fossil.
It’s unpopular because it’s owned by one proprietary company that doesn’t really know how to compete with the free-and-everywhere git.
I would much prefer a FOSS clone of perforce over the proprietary thing, but I find its command line interface so much better than git that I use it anyway.
I’ll have to look into it now, had never heard of it, but it seems to be pretty widely used in the industry.
It used to be the most popular one in the whole software industry, but since github and students learning git in college, companies have mostly switched to git (it’s free, too). Now perforce is mostly a games industry thing, because it does still handle large binary files better than git.
Git LFS sucks, it could be worse, but it’s definitely a pain.
We use a lot of ESRI file geodatabases where I work (think sqlite, but it’s a folder with a file per table and dozens of binary files that each rely on a set of sidecars and system tables).
It’s virtually impossible to track revisions with git, so we’ve been using the good old “archive _v2” method.
Might be worth checking this out as a solution for that, boss is a cheap bastard though so it probably won’t happen lol
