XetHub Launches Windows Support (Preview)
When we launched our public beta in December, the very first issue filed against XetHub was an ask for Windows support. Today, we’re excited to announce that XetHub now supports Windows environments in addition to MacOS and Linux!
XetHub now supports Windows!
With our v0.8 update, engineering teams on all operating systems can use XetHub to store code and large data — of any type! — in a Xet repository of up to 1TB. We make it easy to instantly access huge repositories from your desktop with our mount functionality, while automatically tracking the provenance of each file with a platform that scales to support the needs of modern development.
Windows support is currently in preview mode with some known limitations. Follow our installation instructions to get started now!
Other Updates
That’s not all. We’re always working to improve your experience across all platforms.
Fast MacOS installation
Unexpected Homebrew updates slowing down your MacOS install? We hear you! XetHub installation no longer requires Homebrew. Follow our instructions to download and run our .pkg for a quick and painless installation experience.
XetHub has a MacOS installer package now
Improved File Preview
Several of you asked for better ways to understand big files through the XetHub UI. Our latest release adds automatic 5MB previews of CSV files in both repository and difference views.
