This is interesting, what does it give that hosted git doesn't?

  decentralization out of the box for the most part. Its built on ATproto protocol which is used by bluesky/created by them

    Git is decentralized.
    • Klonoar 1y ago
      We know. The forges aren’t decentralized though (barring bits like Sourcehut pushing for email patch workflows). Thats part of what ATP is potentially helping to solve for here.

  The fact that all the data is open means not only that you could plausibly exit to other providers and keep all your projects data, (issues, prs, etc), but also that it's dramatically easier to build other tools that work on that same data. Triage, labelers, bots, etc, I know these are all possible on GitHub today with their API, but I think the programming model of ATProto removes a lot of friction in building and composing them.

    I think there is a sort of thing built on top of Git where the wiki and issues are actually part of the repo itself, I forget the name, a bit like the Fossil SCM.

      It's actually its own distinct version control _system_. And yes, it is Fossil SCM: https://fossil-scm.org/ https://fossil-scm.org/

        No, he’s talking about git-bug.

      Maybe git-bug[1]? [1]: https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug

      git-annotate uses git notes and embeds a webserver for the frontend Looks like a hobby project that made it out of Google and into open source. Not really worked on, but very cool concept
