What it does
VibeGit builds Git-based project checkpoints, shows changes and safely restores earlier state. It targets people coding with Codex and Claude Code who fear an agent will wipe working results. Integrations use a local MCP server: `@VibeGit` in Codex and `/vibegit:save` in Claude Code. An optional skill `vibegit-change-summary` records a readable change summary for the next checkpoint. Cloud backup to a private GitHub repository is available as an extra.
Who it is for. Beginner and solo developers building projects with agents who want a way to roll back.
Good fit when
- A checkpoint is created before a large agent edit.
- You need to see what an agent changed.
- A project must return to a working state after a bad edit.
- A private GitHub copy of the project is wanted.
Not a fit when
- A full disk backup is required.
- Files that were never saved must be recovered.
- The system is not Windows x64.
Example request
Save a project checkpoint before the edit and show what changed afterwards.Limitations
The installer targets Windows x64 only and does not install skills or plugins: they are built from source separately. Per the README the Codex plugin passed a real-session check, while Claude Code, DeepSeek Harness and WorkBuddy passed only protocol and packaging tests. Git 2.23 or newer is required, plus GitHub CLI for cloud backup. A rollback changes project files, so confirm the checkpoint exists first. Stars belong to the desktop app rather than the skill. Automatic hooks are off by default and configured separately.
How to disable. Uninstall the app, remove the plugin or MCP entry from the agent and the `vibegit-change-summary` folder from skills. Delete any GitHub backup repositories separately.
FAQ
Which agents work?
Codex through `@VibeGit` and Claude Code through `/vibegit:save`. DeepSeek Harness and WorkBuddy share the MCP server.
Is this a full backup?
No. The README states it is not a disk backup and cannot restore files that were never saved.
Does the installer include the skill?
No, the `vibegit-change-summary` skill must be deployed separately.
What does cloud backup need?
GitHub CLI and authorization in a GitHub account. The copy goes to a private repository.
Does the app need Node.js?
No, the Windows installer needs neither Node.js nor pnpm. Building from source requires them.
