I found Ryabitsev's 2019 meditation [0] about maybe using git with secure scuttlebutt interesting (though not terribly compelling). Ryabitsev's fantasy scenario involves a developer exchanging git patches for a particular project via phones, to a laptop. Because that person uses secure scuttlebutt, the bug tracking thread is part of the enabling software, rather than out of band. I am of the impression that Ryabitsev's history as mailing list manager and software patch attestation more likely informed this dalliance than typical web3 inroads.

- evbogue 3y agoThe referenced article does not mention git-ssb, which was actually used for some time to develop the Patchbay and Decent clients for Secure Scuttlebutt! https://scuttlebot.io/apis/community/git-ssb.html https://scuttlebot.io/apis/community/git-ssb.html Git-ssb went far beyond just sending and receiving patches. You could actually clone, pull, and push a repo between your friends and your friends friends.
- alchemist1e9 3y agoI remember discovering git-ssb and thinking wow this is it, this is how code can be uncensored and decentralized. Does this Nostr based approach solve the problem as well or should they be looking at git-ssb and extending it? It seems extremely likely governments and courts all across worlds will be increasingly threatened by code in the next decade, so pretty important that a censorship resistant infrastructure is built asap.
