Sapling 是一个跨平台、高扩展性并兼容 Git 的版本管理系统，旨在提供用户友好且强大的用户界面的同时，具备极佳的扩展性，以应对包含百万级别文件和提交的仓库使用场景。

Sapling SCM 由三个主要组成部分组成：

• Sapling 客户端：客户端sl命令行和 Web 界面，供用户与 Sapling SCM 交互。
• Mononoke：高度可扩展的分布式源代码控制服务器。（尚未公开支持。）
• EdenFS：一个用于高效检出大型存储库的虚拟文件系统。（尚未公开支持。）

Sapling SCM 的可扩展性目标是确保所有源代码控制操作都随着开发人员使用的文件数量而不是存储库本身的大小而扩展，即使在拥有数百万个文件和极长提交历史记录的大型存储库中也能获得快速、高效的体验。

使用示例：

# Clones the repository into the sapling directory.
# For git support, it uses git under the hood for clone/push/pull.
$ sl clone --git https://github.com/facebookexperimental/sapling
remote: Enumerating objects: 639488, done.
...
$ cd sapling

# 'sl' with no arguments prints the smartlog.
# It shows the commit you are on (@) and all of your local commits
# (none in this example since we just cloned). For each local commit it shows
# the short hash, the commit date, who made it, any remote bookmarks,
# and the commit title. With some configuration it can also show
# information from inside the commit message, like task numbers or
# pull request numbers.
