What did this unit of work produce?

Frozen products with an append-only log, so a citation still resolves next year.

Get started Reference

A deed is a frozen record of one product: a file, a patch, a quote, a page, a table. It names the bytes by hash, who produced them, and what they were made from. Every deed goes into a Merkle log. The store can then show a deed was there before anyone asked, and cannot drop one unnoticed by a reader who kept a head. A tracker or a pack cites a deed by its accession and never copies the bytes.

Install

$ cargo binstall deedar-cli
$ cargo binstall deedar-mcp   # optional
$ export DEEDAR_URL=file://$HOME/.local/share/deedar/store

First minute

$ echo 'fn main() {}' > note.rs
$ deedar create file --name "the parser patch" --path note.rs --agent you

The tutorial goes on to supersede the deed, hand it to another store with its receipt, and check it there.
