- [Upgrade](https://docs.vers.sh/cli-reference/upgrade.md)
- [Why Vers?](https://docs.vers.sh/compare.md): Compute has been single-timeline forever. That was an accident of implementation. Vers is what happens when branching a live machine is cheaper than allocating memory.
- [Commits](https://docs.vers.sh/concepts/commits.md): Immutable, content-addressable snapshots of a VM. The thing you restore, branch from, and tag.
- [Dockerfile support](https://docs.vers.sh/concepts/dockerfile.md): How `vers build` turns a literal Dockerfile into a Vers commit, with layer caching.
- [HEAD and aliases](https://docs.vers.sh/concepts/head-and-aliases.md): How commands know which VM you mean when you don't say — and how to name VMs so you never have to.
- [Concepts](https://docs.vers.sh/concepts/overview.md): The vocabulary you need to read the rest of the docs.
- [VMs](https://docs.vers.sh/concepts/vms.md): The unit of compute. States, resources, the branching tree, and how they compose.
- [Configuration](https://docs.vers.sh/config.md): Define VM memory, vCPUs, disk, and boot image with vers.toml.
- [Content-addressable everything](https://docs.vers.sh/essays/content-addressable-everything.md): Git's quiet revolution was that it made code identity a function of content, not location. Apply the same idea to running machines and three decades of problems dissolve at once.
- [The cost of rebuilding state](https://docs.vers.sh/essays/cost-of-rebuilding-state.md): Most engineering time is not spent doing work. It is spent re-creating the conditions under which work can be done. Once you see the pattern, you cannot unsee it.
- [Every infrastructure primitive is secretly a way to avoid paying a cost](https://docs.vers.sh/essays/every-primitive-avoids-a-cost.md): Indexes, caches, CDNs, fork(), git, containers — every durable primitive you can name started as someone's answer to a recurring cost. The frame is useful because it predicts where the next primitives are coming from.
- [Essays](https://docs.vers.sh/essays/overview.md): Long-form pieces on branchable compute, stateful infrastructure, and why the shape of the work changes when forking a live machine is cheap.
- [A short history of fork()](https://docs.vers.sh/essays/short-history-of-fork.md): fork() is fifty-five years old. It's the primitive that made Unix generative, the one every serious system still borrows from, and the one whose logical conclusion is to branch whole running machines.
- [Why stateless compute ran out of runway for agents](https://docs.vers.sh/essays/stateless-compute-ran-out.md): Stateless compute was the right answer for request/response. It is the wrong answer for agents. Context is not a message array — it's everything the worker has built up, and statelessness throws all of it away.
- [Time-travel debugging, productionized](https://docs.vers.sh/essays/time-travel-debugging.md): Most bugs are hard because by the time you notice them, the state that produced them is gone. Make every commit a restoration point and branches a way to explore alternate pasts, and debugging stops looking like archaeology.
- [Basic web app](https://docs.vers.sh/examples/basic-web-app.md): Deploy a Python FastAPI app on a Vers VM

- [Installation](https://docs.vers.sh/installation.md): Install the Vers CLI on macOS or Linux with a one-line curl. Alternate methods for source builds and manual binaries.
- [Networking](https://docs.vers.sh/networking.md): How Vers VMs are reachable from the internet, what ports are routable, how TLS works, and the gotchas around dual-stack binds.
- [What is Vers?](https://docs.vers.sh/overview.md): fork() for machines. Branch a live VM — memory, processes, sockets and all — in 258µs. It's git for running compute.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.vers.sh/quickstart.md): From install to your first branched VM in under 10 minutes.
- [Repositories and Tags](https://docs.vers.sh/repositories.md): Organize commits, publish images, and share VM state across accounts

- [Agent swarms](https://docs.vers.sh/tutorials/agent-swarms.md): Fork one golden VM into parallel coding agents. Build a full-stack app (server + client + landing) in ~60 seconds by running three agents simultaneously.
- [Database state testing](https://docs.vers.sh/tutorials/database-state-testing.md): Seed a database once, branch the live state, apply three competing schema migrations in parallel, compare outcomes. No more 'reset the DB and reseed' tax.
- [Tutorials](https://docs.vers.sh/tutorials/overview.md): Long-form guides that show Vers earning its keep on real workloads.
- [Parallel scenario testing](https://docs.vers.sh/tutorials/parallel-web-testing.md): Navigate to a stateful point in a real webapp, branch, then run N divergent test paths in parallel against isolated copies of the live state.

- [Recursive Language Models](https://docs.vers.sh/tutorials/recursive-language-models.md): Build an RLM that writes code to explore data instead of reading it all at once — using ts-rlm and Vers VMs for isolated execution.
- [VM Access](https://docs.vers.sh/vm-access.md): Connect to, execute on, and transfer files to Vers VMs via SSH.
