GitFs provides you an alternative persistent storage solution for keeping metadata. This is ideal for quick prototyping. GitFs has a choice of memfs or OS file system as a local storage, which is backed by remote git repo. When syncing local data, it has an option to wipe out git history to boost sync efficiency.

c := gitfs.NewConfig().SetUrl(repoUrl).UseMemFs() fs, _ := gitfs.New(context.TODO(), c) f, _ := fs.Create("test.txt") f.Write([]byte("test")) f.Close() fs.Sync(true)

Limitation: src-d has no support for git merge yet. It could fail to sync if remote repo is diverged.
