# Pushing 4.7M Commits an Hour

**[Matt Rickard](https://daily.dev/sources/mattrickard)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A custom git server implementation called Corigin is benchmarked at 4.79 million pushes per hour and 27.8 million clones per hour, designed specifically for AI agent workflows. The premise is that AI coding agents — like Anthropic's 2,000-session Claude Code swarm that wrote a C compiler — need git infrastructure that treats branches as ephemeral, disposable units rather than sacred artifacts. Every parallel agent gets a branch, every agent turn gets snapshotted, enabling provable correlation between agent actions and code changes. Examples from Bun's Rust rewrite (695 commits/hr), DeepMind's AlphaCode 2, and Cognition's agentic MapReduce illustrate the scale at which frontier teams already operate.
