The version control heavy work deserves.

Pako is one platform for code and content: native big files, exclusive locking, in-browser previews and a fast CLI — with bandwidth free on every plan.

the kit

Everything heavy work needs

Native big files

Terabyte-scale repos with content-addressed chunks. Identical data is stored once; you fetch a revision, not the whole history.

Exclusive locking

Reserve a binary asset before editing. Locks are visible to everyone, so two people never silently clobber the same file.

Preview-first review

Assets and frames render in the browser. Scrub revisions and approve the exact one, instead of trading screenshots.

Branches & revisions

Git-grade branching for what merges, immutable revision hashes for what doesn't. One coherent, auditable timeline.

Access control

Public or private per repository, with roles and permissions that ride inside short-lived, signed tokens.

Zero egress

Pull as often as you want, to as many machines as you want. Bandwidth is free on every plan, forever.

locking

The Perforce workflow, without the Perforce server

Binary files can't three-way merge, so Pako lets you take an exclusive lock before you open one. Everyone sees who holds it and for how long — in the web app, and (soon) right inside your editor. No more 'who's got the boss level?' in chat.

previews

See the revision, not a screenshot of it

Every push renders a preview you can open in the browser — meshes, textures, frames, audio. A supervisor can scrub the history and approve the exact revision that ships, with the source of truth one click away.

storage

Terabytes that behave like text

Content-addressed storage dedupes across revisions and branches, so heavy history stays cheap and checkouts stay fast. Blobs live on zero-egress object storage; only the differences ever move.

the cli

Fast where it counts

Clone, lock, commit and push from a single binary. Checkouts pull only what a revision needs, so even multi-terabyte trees come down in seconds.

Secure by design

Httpsonly sessions, signed short-lived access tokens, encryption in transit and at rest, and granular permissions enforced at the token layer.
