For developers building file-heavy applications

FileBackbone gives your product Git-style history for files, with APIs your app can use directly. Ship versioning, branching, and safe collaboration without building storage internals from scratch.

What it is

FileBackbone is an API-first file storage system with built-in commit history and branch workflows. Instead of writing custom snapshot logic, conflict logic, and audit trails, your app calls a consistent API and gets traceable file operations out of the box.

Store files as versioned objects with commit history.
Create branches for experiments, drafts, or feature work.
Merge safely with clear conflict handling.
Inspect exactly what changed and why.

Why developers use it

Build less infrastructure

Skip years of bespoke storage/versioning work and focus on product workflows.

Safer collaboration

Avoid overwrite races with branch-aware operations and merge paths.

Clear auditability

Every change can be traced through commit and tree history.

API-first integration

Use the public client library to integrate quickly from Node or browser contexts.

Get started in 4 steps

Create an account and a repository.
Create an API key from the API keys screen.
Initialize the public client in your app with base URL and token.
Upload files, commit changes, branch, and merge through the API.

import { FileBackboneClient } from 'reposys/client/filebackbone_client.js';

const client = new FileBackboneClient({
  baseUrl: 'https://your-domain.example',
  token: process.env.FBB_API_TOKEN,
});

const branches = await client.list_branches(repo_id);

Ship file workflows faster

If your users need collaboration, history, and confidence around file changes, this gives you a production path without building all the internals yourself.
