Git 3.0 is coming. Are your tools ready? 🛡️

In our latest SmartGit Preview 26.1.011, we’ve officially introduced #Git 3.0 compatibility, targeting the 2 biggest architectural changes:

✅ SHA-256 Support: Moving beyond SHA-1 to ensure long-term cryptographic security and collision resistance.

✅ Reftable Support: A new storage format for refs that solves the "thousands of branches" performance bottleneck. No more scanning thousands of tiny files in .git/refs.

1/2 Exciting news: we just published a new paper: "Preimage attacks on round-reduced MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 using parameterized SAT solver", by Oleg Zaikin

If you are interested in security, cryptology, or Constraint Programming, definitely give this paper a read!

Release of hshwd

hshwd is an open-source offline tool that generates strong, unique passwords from weak ones in a deterministic way, using the properties of hash functions.

[Перевод] Пишем свой git: минимальная реализация на Rust

Контроль версий долгое время был для меня «чёрным ящиком»: я не понимал, как именно хранятся файлы, как формируются diff’ы и из чего состоят коммиты. А поскольку я люблю изобретать велосипеды, почему бы не попробовать реализовать git самому?

My #2026 resolution was field-testing sha256 git repos and I converted one of my minor projects, but since Github only supports sha1 I've moved the repository to codeberg:

https://codeberg.org/kpcyrd/ssh-keyonly

Everything else worked well. I'm also mirroring the repo to Arch Linux' Gitlab. Gitlab's UI didn't support creating sha256 repos, but this can be bypassed through the "import repository" feature.

I've used this guide, which was very helpful: https://cybrkyd.com/post/how-to-convert-a-sha1-git-repository-to-sha256/
