Git is unprepared for the AI coding tsunami

Git’s version control architecture is buckling under the surge of AI-generated code, as the tool’s linear commit model and lack of native support for massive automated contributions create bottlenecks for development teams.

Without fundamental redesigns to handle high-velocity, machine-driven code changes, Git risks becoming a critical bottleneck in the AI-powered software development pipeline.
