ostree
OSTree is a command line tool and a system for managing repositories of versioned file trees. It is designed to help developers and system administrators manage file systems for operating system binaries and deployment. The tool enables the creation, storage, and updating of bootable Linux file systems. OSTree employs Git-like functionality at the core, allowing for efficient storage and transfer of file system trees. It utilizes hard links for data deduplication, which consumes minimal disk space. OSTree allows users to atomically switch between different versions of a file system, making rollbacks and upgrades quick and reliable. It is widely used in projects like Fedora Atomic, Endless OS, and GNOME OSTree, providing a solid foundation for system and application deployments.
