I don't know how new Tangled is, but there is a fairly mature github alternative being built on Nostr: https://gitworkshop.dev/ https://gitworkshop.dev/ The basic idea is that you can put your repository on multiple GRASP-compatible nostr relays (GRASP is a sub-protocol that glues nostr and git together), so even if one server goes down you can transparently sync using the others. This means in effect 100% uptime if you choose reliable servers, as well as cryptographically-signed repositories, activity, issues, etc.

i am unable to access any repository on that website. for some, it complains that ssh or https URLs are not supported by my browser? and for others its just loading indefinitely with `Failed to load file tree`. maybe its not fairly mature.

  Sounds like a misconfigured repository. Try for example https://gitworkshop.dev/danconwaydev.com/relay.ngit.dev/ngit-indexer https://gitworkshop.dev/danconwaydev.com/relay.ngit.dev/ngit...

    That one specifically fails catastrophically for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the project you're referring to appears to be closed source.

  It's all open source, hosted on nostr itself. See the creator's profile for all related repos: https://gitworkshop.dev/danconwaydev.com https://gitworkshop.dev/danconwaydev.com

  Do github, gitea, and gitlab not?

    i can't speak to gitea, but github and gitlab are explicitly mentioned as having a license in their policy: > Please be aware that GitHub and GitLab are exceptions to this Policy because they are subject to explicit licensing arrangements that pre-date, and thus take precedence, over this Policy.

    From gitea: GIT is a trademark of Software Freedom Conservancy and our use of “gitea” is under license.

  This is a meaningless fact unless Git actually sues them for infringement. Failure to quickly sue can be seen as tacit approval.
