fit: A Version Control System

fit is a version control system inspired by Git. It offers similar functionality with commands to initialize, clone, add, remove, commit, log, reset, and check the status of your repositories. fit is written in Rust and uses SHA-1 for hashing, zlib for compression, and offers a simple CLI for interaction.
