We use Cloudflare WARP (which is down) to access GitHub. Time to slack off.

If only there was a protocol of some sorts that allowed you to send/receive code and patches even if the centralized hub everyone uses for synchronization was down...

  Something distributed??

  I wonder, have there been any case studies on phishing/trojan type attacks by code (git changes) via email?

  Most of the time it's not about the code. Project management, issue tracking and prioritization, discussions, PR reviews, searching across the organization repos, etc.

    There are (all too rare) tools that back those objects with git as well. And there's always fossil ... https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki But it's not git. :-(

  Repeat after me: GitHub is more than just Git. GitHub is more than just Git.

    Repeat after me: Git is more than just files. Git is more than just files.

    I would like to see Git be extended with a decentralized approach to bugtracking, code reviews, wiki's for documentation etc.

      Isn't that Fossil? https://fossil-scm.org/home https://fossil-scm.org/home SCM, bug tracker, wiki...

      What do you need for wikis? Just put text files in a folder? Bug tracking in git: https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug Code review in git: https://github.com/google/git-appraise https://github.com/google/git-appraise

    Yes, it's also good a variety of different systems to store and address Markdown. Which you could, you know, put in git. Git is more than just GitHub though, that much is true.

  I know git claims to be decentralized, but has anybody ever actually managed to use it in a decentralized manner? Not even the git or Linux projects themselves are without a centralized sync point.

    Grandparent can still work off their local git repository, create local branches and commits, unlike the traditional VCS model which required branching and commits to be immediately synced to a centralized node. The centralization issue that you raise is a different one; most projects intend to take contributions from folks and merge them into a single product.

      Noted on the definition of the word “decentralized”, but the comment I was replying to was specifically about the ability to “send/receive code and patches”, that’s what I haven’t seen done without a central sync point.

Why not just access it normally over the proper internet, instead of chancing it with Cloud Flare's janky wiring system?
- r1ch 3y ago
  WARP is much more than a VPN under the surface, it does device attestation and all kinds of integration with their Access product.
  - Nextgrid 3y ago
    How does that help with GitHub though? I understand using this service as a proxy to access internal resources (which wouldn't be available on the public internet), but what good does it do to access a public service like GitHub? Does GH understand/rely on the (presumed) HTTP headers that this product sets on the proxied traffic?
