Github might be in trouble

OpenAI is reportedly building an internal alternative to GitHub, prompting speculation about the future of version control. The author predicts version control will undergo a bigger transformation than the shift from SVN to Git, driven by AI agents that need transparent, automated change tracking. AI coding tools like Cursor and Codex are seen as better positioned to build next-gen version control systems integrated with agent workflows. Tools like Jujutsu (JJ) are highlighted as better aligned with how AI agents operate. The author foresees GitHub losing its dominance as AI companies build closed ecosystems that capture training data from the full development lifecycle, potentially splitting developers into two camps: those fully abstracted inside walled gardens and those who still understand the underlying systems.
