GIT IS DECENTRALIZED

• dbmikus 3mo ago
  But the identity part of git is not (unless you count pgp signing of each commit, which never took off at a large scale) and the git tools don't automatically propagate repo changes by default across a network
  • rakoo 3mo ago
    The identity of a repo is its url so yes, the identity part is decentralized
    • dbmikus 3mo ago
      Identity is more than a name. It is also proving that you own that identity (aka authentication)
• jmalicki 3mo ago
  But if you just hashed all the changes and put them in Merkle tree to verify, wouldn't that make it so much better?

  Issue tracking and collaboration tools are not. (Although many small projects could get by with a todo.txt and a mailing list.)
• fooqux 3mo ago
  Yup, but the community you build around a project is not.
