Could you build this?
Partial A basic Git server can be vibe-coded, but correct smart-HTTP protocol support and high-throughput, agent-scale storage with packfiles and per-branch history require hard systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Implement the Git wire protocol (smart HTTP, pack negotiation) in a language like Go or Rust, store packfiles in S3-compatible object storage, and keep refs and branch history in Postgres. The hard parts are pack generation and delta handling at scale, concurrent ref updates, and performance testing under heavy push load.
