About this project

qwe is a unique version control system that focuses on individual file tracking rather than entire projects. Ideal for quick experiments or managing standalone scripts, it allows for easy commits, reverts, and minimal setup. Perfect for those who prefer a more granular approach to version control.

qwe (pronounced kiwi) offers a streamlined and efficient approach to version/revision control, focusing on individual file tracking rather than entire projects. Unlike traditional systems like Git that manage repositories as a whole, qwe allows users to monitor file changes independently, making it ideal for quick-level tracking, experimentation, or handling standalone scripts.

Key Features

File-based Version Control: Easily track versions of specific files without managing the entire project.
Effortless Commits: Save changes with straightforward commit messages.
Flexible Reversion: Seamlessly roll back a single file without impacting others.
Speed and Simplicity: Designed for minimal setup and management, enabling quick file control.

Utilizing qwe is simple and user-friendly. Key commands include:

Command	Description
`qwe`	Displays all available commands
`qwe init`	Initializes qwe in a directory
`qwe track <file-path>`	Begins tracking a specified file
`qwe list <file-path>`	Lists all commits for a given file
`qwe commit <file-path> "<commit message>"`	Commits changes to a file with a designated message
`qwe revert <file-path> <commit-id>`	Reverts a file to a previous version
