See it work

The interactive piece from the front page, with room to try it, followed by ctxfs’s logo, colors and type.

Each agent writes to its own layer. Git brings it back together.

This is the test that decides whether ctxfs works: two agents run at the same time in two contexts, both touch the same file, and the work comes back through plain git. Step through it, and look through either context to see which layer each file comes from.

> ctxfs init --repo D:\src\webapp
  base pinned at 7bdb873e7caa

> ctxfs run alpha -- claude
  created context alpha, mounted at C:\ctx\alpha
  claude edits, adds a file, deletes one, commits to a branch

> ctxfs run beta -- claude
  created context beta, mounted at C:\ctx\beta
  a second agent, at the same time, in its own view

> ctxfs status alpha
  alpha  mounted  base 7bdb873e7caa

    A  src/cache.js
    D  docs/legacy.md
  3 paths changed; 3.1 KB in the upper layer

> ctxfs reconcile alpha && ctxfs reconcile beta
  fetched alpha into refs/ctxfs/alpha/*
  fetched beta into refs/ctxfs/beta/*

> ctxfs merge alpha beta --into main

  exit 4

Ordinary git merges, one after another, in a separate worktree. The overlapping edit is an ordinary git conflict, left in place to resolve. The base is byte-for-byte what it was.

A walk through the acceptance test that defines “done” for ctxfs’s git workflow. The commands, the base commit, the status format and the merge result are the ones recorded in the project’s tracker. The file names, sizes and the wording of the other output lines are filled in for this page. Nothing here mounts anything.

Assets

Logo, colors, and type.

Mark

The project’s generated logo mark. The grid gets finer with the commit count, and the cells show the split between languages. It’s redrawn as the project grows.

Palette

The colors ctxfs uses across this site: one hue from its discipline’s band, plus the shades that make it work on both dark and light backgrounds.

Type

The two typefaces on the site: a sans-serif for the interface and a serif for headlines.
