What if you could make a federated/decentralized git that doesn't care whether the git repo is made available by github or my-fancy-federated-git-host?

Twitter (or Github) wont federate in good faith and will actively attempt to capture as much users as possible. > What if you could make a federated/decentralized git that doesn't care whether the git repo is made available by github or my-fancy-federated-git-host? Git is distributed already; remotes work like that.
- SoniEx2 6y agoYeah Twitter doesn't work because it's not simply hosting the posts that you interact with elsewhere. Github is simply hosting the repos. Git is decentralized already. That's the key difference between Twitter and Github and why I made GAnarchy the way I did. and also why I make a point of hosting a GAnarchy instance on github pages and encouraging others to do the same. (self-hosted is better of course, but.)
