Commit Cloud (Meta)

Commit Cloud is a Meta / Sapling feature (preview, not yet publicly available as of the 2022-11-15 announcement) in which every commit in an organization is uploaded to the server as soon as it's made. Sharing code is reduced to sending a colleague the commit hash — they run sl goto HASH and Sapling fetches and checks out the commit locally.

Post-quote verbatim:

"It also enables Commit Cloud, where all commits in your organization are uploaded as soon as they are made, and sharing code is as simple as sending your colleague a commit hash and having them run sl goto HASH."

— Sapling announcement post

Design stance

Classical Git / Mercurial handoff requires a branch push — an intentional, named, decision-tied-to-a-shared-ref action. Commit Cloud makes every commit automatically shareable by hash; the act of committing is the act of publishing. The colleague does not need a branch name or a push-is-done notification; they just need the hash.

Depends on the Sapling-compatible server for the automatic upload substrate.
