They didn't improve git, they only made this for themselves and for their product users. Git doesn't restrict you to a single operating system.

Given Microsoft's recent form, I'd expect this to appear on Linux before long, and possibly osx too. In any case, it's open source so you could always port it yourself.
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoI would be surprised. This sort of project is deeply OS-specific. If they wanted to eventually make it cross-platform, they would have started by implementing FUSE on Windows.
- zintinio5 10y agoSeveral years ago a friend and I had a need to build a virtual file system that was portable between Linux and Windows. At the very least, we attempted to share as much code as possible. It proved to be pretty easy and we had a working prototype after about 30 hours of work. We used FUSE on Linux, and Dokan FUSE on Windows.

- Kipters 10y agoLook at Issue 4 on their GitHub repo, they want to port it also to Linux and macOS
