Summary
Tired of other version control systems that treat them like inferior files? The project began life as Unreal Revision Control, and was used by internal teams and as the version control system (VCS) built into Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Lore is a centralized, content-addressed VCS that’s meant to be more flexible for developers, as it's licensed under the less restrictive MIT License instead of the copyleft requirements inherent in the GNU standard. Lore can be installed on macOS, Windows, and Linux and its server side is designed to be transportable into different cloud services as well.
