What software aside from Git Appraise (decentralized code reviews) and Git Dit (decentralized issue tracking - alpha quality) do you know of that could be used to move more of what is kept in GitLab/GitHub/BitBucket databases into Git objects and Git tree in order to make Git decentralized again?

First, my HDMI port blows up and have to work on a small laptop screen. And now I can't access my repositories.. Not happy.

This is why it is important to keep backups of backups ^.^ EDIT: I upvoted you twice, HN just loves to downvote anything ;)

When you have to painstakingly earn the right to downvote, you just can't feel bad about using it once in a while.

> No reason this stuff cannot be modeled using existing Git objects. That's the easy part. The hard part is discovery and keeping stuff like teams and moderation when you decentralize it. Advancements in Blockchain-tech, IPFS and similar will make this viable soonish-ly, but I think we are not quite there yet from a technological standpoint.

How is blockchain related to this?

https://www.fossil-scm.org/ pretty much does this.

Hi, I've always been curious what the quota/threshold is. My last account (i336_) got to 1000+ (before I accidentally locked it...) and I never saw the downvote button. Is it like 10,000 or something?

And you started a lousy off-topic thread where you and others are competing to complain about downvoting and the weather.

What does work is git clone https://username@bitbucket.org/organization/repo.git so you can probably still get by. Just the website is down.

Oh! Interesting, this is good!

Sorry, sarcasm alert. They are showing "We ran into a minor glitch.". I definitely don't agree with their assessment.

Ah, thanks for the clarification :) all good then
