it would be super interesting to know how private would work
Setting up git repos on a local machine is easy enough.
Sorry/not sorry web-heads, but distributed ephemeral everything on a magical network no one can intuit is going backwards.
Importing yet another pie in the sky idea is a non-starter. It’s humans doing human wanky nonsense. Not much of a revolution at this point.
We are building https://gitopia.org - Permanent Data Storage provided by Arweave - Works from within git with the help of git-remote-helper `npm install -g git-remote-gitopia` so no need to learn new tooling - Built-in incentivization to token holders who also take part in the governance of Gitopia - Token holders share revenue made by the platform - You can mirror your GitHub repositories now using the Github Mirror…
This kind of thing always makes me sweat. Are deletes at all possible? What if someone accidentally pushes keys to the repo? On regular github, at least you can nuke the whole repo and start over if need be.

At which point you may as well leave them there...

I'm not sure I see the point of building a complex platform with governance and whatnot. What I want is an easy way to publish my projects and for other people to contribute, I need something more like email (independent, self-hosted servers with a well defined protocol to communicate between them) than Facebook. I don't care about the governance of my git remote, or getting money out of it. I care about it being rel…
I feel that there is a real need for permanent Storage with respect to Open Source. Code breaks when old packages are unpublished or repositories deleted. Push once and fetch forever solves this. Also Centralized solutions are providing open source collaboration tools for free, storage for free, because of their revenue from enterprise customers. What happens when they decide to shut down? or change their policies? o…

Disclaimer: I love Github. From a commercial development standpoint (ie. my day job), it's fantastic. BUT: What a lot of developers, myself included, feel like is the source control in git is great. The project management tools (issues, actions, etc...) require centralization of certain processes, that for some projects (open and closed source), don't fit well. Sometimes the 'how it works' is a bad fit. Other times,…
I argue that centralization of certain processes is the entire point. How the hell are you going to manage a complex software project if everyone has a different version of the issues pertaining to it? Simply seeing an issue comment instantly update in GitHub as I am scrolling through has saved me tons of aggregate hours in wasted time on changing requirements.
Not saying that fossil is going to replace git/github. Probably not, but there are ways to solve simple information management problems that don't require a centralized, subscription service. By eliminating that, you open the door to much innovation... In the meantime, I've got a pull request or two to review over on Github.
