Gluon is a tool designed for users who typically work on a single branch with files that can't be merged (typically, binary files such as images, animations, or documents). These users usually lock file access to coordinate teamwork collaboration. Repositories are normally huge and include very large binary files. A typical Gluon user is an artist involved with game development teams. However, the tool is not restricted to only game teams.

Gluon might be helpful in the following scenarios:

As a user, you want to select the files to work on, make changes, and quickly submit them. You don’t want to merge or branch files, you want those functions to happen in the background.
As a user, you want to lock files so nobody can work on them simultaneously to you.
As a user, you don't want to be forced to download a file repository that contains lots of huge files to access the one or two files that you need to work on. You want to select only the files you want to work on and download those.
