Sure they are. Git is one of the pioneering “distributed” version control systems. Every clone of a git repo is a complete copy. Sounds pretty decentralized to me.
Git’s native consensus mechanism is to defer to humans and record their decisions as merge commits.
I agree git natively doesn’t protect against erasing history. Although rebase is discouraged and any one node can’t forcibly erase history from every other node.

- admax88qqq 2y agoThat’s more a question of how you hold it. You can keep your own local DNS list or run one for you and your friends (OpenNIC) But for DNS it’s typically most convenience if everyone agrees on who google.com is.
