Show HN: Unixy LLM Client using Git to store converastions, instead SQLite

A developer has released an early-stage Unixy LLM client that stores conversations using Git instead of SQLite, leveraging Git's immutable snapshots and commit structure to ensure data safety. The project, hosted on GitHub, is open to contributions and aims to provide a more comforting auto-generated SHA-1 hash for session identification.

Hi all :) The reason I like git is that the source tree snapshot and the commit structure itself are always immutable, and destructive operations are just renaming a ref file.

Once you understand that, no matter how hard the CLI is to make sense of, you never hesitate to run a command. You can always get it back.

LLM conversations aren't as fragile to change as a source tree, but for me an auto-generated SHA-1 hash is more comforting than an auto-generated session title ^~^

The project is in its early stages and contributions are welcome. If you've worked with git plumbing commands, it'll be easy to hack on - and I think it'll be pretty fun.
