C developers your library deserves more than just a GitHub repository.
Today, I shipped tree v0.2.0 into the Vix.cpp Registry and validated the full workflow end-to-end:
• Git tag
• Immutable commit resolution
• Registry update via PR
• Local registry sync
• vix add tree@0.2.0
• Fully reproducible build
No magic.
No hidden service.
No vendor lock-in.
What is Vix.cpp ?
Vix.cpp is a modern C runtime and tooling ecosystem inspired by Node.js and Cargo, but designed for the realities of C :
• Native performance (no wrappers, no runtime tax)
• Git-native, commit-pinned dependencies
• Offline-first by design
• Deterministic, reproducible builds
• Zero centralized infrastructure dependency
The registry is not a SaaS.
It is a versioned Git index auditable, clonable, forkable, and future-proof.
Already maintaining a C library?
If your library:
• is header-only or CMake-based
• already uses Git tags (v1.0.0, v1.2.3, …)
• lives on GitHub or GitLab
You can publish it to the Vix Registry in minutes, without changing how you develop today.
No new format.
No special build system.
No lock-in.
Why publish to the Vix Registry?
• Users get commit-pinned, reproducible builds
• Your library becomes composable inside a modern C runtime
• No central service dependency ever
• Long-term stability by design
• You help shape the future of C tooling
This is about infrastructure you can trust for the next 10 years not just convenience today.
What the screenshots demonstrate
• vix add tree@0.2.0
• Automatic vix.lock generation
• Exact commit resolution
• Local, verifiable source storage
• Zero network usage after registry sync
Reproducibility you can inspect, not just assume.
