Reportedly, Anthropic has moved from Git to its own Scion version control system

A circulating post claims Anthropic no longer uses Git and has built Scion, with GitHub reportedly reacting on X.
A circulating post claims that Anthropic has stopped using git and switched to its own version control system called Scion.
According to the same claim, AI agents have pushed the number of changes merged into the company’s monorepo to about 30,000 per day, up from a reported 2,500 in May.
The post also mentions a reaction from GitHub on X, saying the company did not take kindly to Anthropic publicly claiming it no longer uses Git. It cites a “random fact”:
Anthropic and Claude spent five months building a replacement for Git, while Linus Torvalds built Git alone in just 10 days.
There is currently no official confirmation from Anthropic or GitHub.
