This seems really cool! I am wondering if it can host private repository as well, or is it just meant to host public repositories?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The design of GitHub means that your canonical upstream is only accessible through the internet, and so are your issues, PRs etc. If you're offline, you can't access it, and if GitHub is down, same story. Radicle, on the other hand, keeps all of this replicated locally, so push/pull works offline, and the code/social artifacts are replicated asynchronously, when you are online, but you don't need to be online to work…
How does push/pull work off line? That sounds impossible. Just scheduling a push doesn’t actually push anything. That’s like commuting to my local GitHub repo and having a scheduled push/pull every 10 minutes then?
I hope Radicle gets a lot of funding and tons of adoption.
We kind of need this yesterday... what's the point of having a decentralized git if the issues are centralized at Github? (which, not to make too fine a point of it, is owned by Microsoft). Even if you host your own Gitlab, there is always that day when the hard drive of the server fails and the ops have to spend a weekend restoring backups while changing hosting company because who crashes the hard-drive of an expen…

Can't you just serialize all issues into the repository and then write scripts/hooks to sync them in/out of textfiles in the repo?
Awesome project, though the perpetuation of open source software needing to be free is regrettable. > Software as it should be. > Free forever Mostly all popular projects need some form of funding, and setting the expectaction of a free lunch forever for new users is not healthy. Btw, do you remember who used the tagline "It's free and always will be"? It was Facebook.
How and why is literally everything peer to peer in the tech community also somehow connected to ethereum?
