brig is a distributed & secure file synchronization tool with version control. It is based on IPFS, written in Go and will feel familiar to git users. Think of it as a swiss army knife for file synchronization or as a peer to peer alternative to Dropbox. brig tries to focus on being up conceptually simple, by hiding a lot of complicated details regarding storage and security. Therefore the end result is hopefully easy and pleasant to use, while being secure by default. Since brig is a general purpose tool for file synchronization it of course cannot excel in all areas. It won’t replace high performance network file systems and should not be used when you are in need of high throughput - at least not at the moment.
