I think the feature that I wish for the most is a standardized git plugin (or transport protocol) that allows a decentralized way to manage issues, releases and project wikis.
Then all the DMCA problems would be immediately gone. It's sad that the gittorrent idea never really took off.
- ComodoHacker 6y agoThere are e-mail and mailing lists for issues, PRs and releases, there is Web for wikis. What ties us to GitHub is convenience.
- cookiengineer 6y agoE-mail is actually the opposite of what I was trying to talk about. E-mail is the golden example on how not to solve this. It's unsecure, unvalidateable, unverifiable, exploitable and everything in between can block it or listen to it. And it uses another, unencrypted, transport protocol, which means it is not related to git at all. The reason why GitHub exploded is the UX experience and the convenience that comes with it. But on the technical side there is no reason not to integrate those features into git itself (or git-web for that matter).
- beckman466 6y agoWhat do you think of git-bug?
- tomjen3 6y agoThose should be part of the git project. Like a standard where /wiki/ is where the wiki goes, /bugs/ are where bugs goes, etc. That way you also automatically know what bugs are still present (and not fixed) on older release branches.
