LoreGUI
Community project · Built on Lore’s native API

A beautiful desktop GUI for Lore.

LoreGUI is a fast, cross-platform desktop client for Lore — Epic’s next-generation version control for source code and huge binary assets. Stage, branch, merge, diff, and lock files without touching the command line.

Built for code and giant binary assets

LoreGUI surfaces what makes Lore different from traditional VCS — designed for game and film pipelines, not just text files.

Content-addressed storage

Every file is chunked and hashed with BLAKE3, so identical data is stored exactly once. Massive repos stay small, and integrity is verifiable down to the chunk.

Sparse, on-demand hydration

Clone multi-terabyte projects in seconds. LoreGUI hydrates only the files you actually open, streaming the rest on demand instead of pulling the whole history.

Visual branch, merge & diff

Read the commit DAG at a glance, compare any two revisions side by side, and resolve merges in a focused three-way view — no command line required.

File locking for binaries

Textures, meshes and audio can't be merged. Claim an exclusive lock before you edit, see who holds what in real time, and release with one click when you're done.

In-process, no daemon

LoreGUI binds Lore's native API directly in the same process. No background service to babysit, no IPC round-trips — operations run at native speed.

Cross-platform, one install

A single installer for Windows, macOS and Linux. On Windows it can optionally register a service so your team's checkouts stay synced and autorun on boot.

Native bindings, not a CLI wrapper

Built on the full Lore API

Most desktop clients scrape the output of a command-line tool and break the moment a flag changes. LoreGUI is different: it binds Lore’s complete native API — all 124 operations — directly in-process.

That means every capability Lore exposes is reachable from the GUI, with structured results, typed errors and progress streams — no parsing terminal text, no missing features, no daemon in the middle.

Every surface, reachable

  • Repository init, clone & config
  • Staging, commit & amend
  • Branch, tag & ref management
  • Three-way merge & rebase
  • Diff, blame & history queries
  • Sparse checkout & hydration
  • Exclusive & shared file locks
  • Remote sync, fetch & push
  • Chunk & object-store inspection
  • Garbage collection & verify
  • Hooks & policy enforcement
  • Status, stash & worktrees

…and the rest of Lore’s native surface, exposed as first-class GUI actions.

Your whole repo, made legible

One window for status, history and branches — purpose-built for projects where the binaries are bigger than the code.
