GitButler now employs/has hired the gitoxide maintainer, I think? So no doubt they’re aware.

I guess they found that gitoxide isn’t good enough and/or to expensive to extend/improve for their use cases?

I think Byron (Gix author/maintainer) is one of the most excited people about the Grit project.

Gitoxide is great and we will continue to push it forward. Grit is an orthogonal project. Perhaps we can use one in the other or maybe Grit goes nowhere. But we thought that a small investment in a different approach is worth the effort.
