GitHub is a code hosting provider, that happens to use git (which is distributed), but the service they provide is run centrally and hence when their infrastructure fails, the service in not available (searching, tickets etc)
- sidcool 11y agoThanks, rdc12! What would an ideal Git service provider be like? Are there distributed alternatives? Is GitLab distributed?
- rdc12 11y agoWell ideal is subjective, GitLab appears to also be a centralized model, but with an option to self-host. For a distributed solution, with similar features and purpose. You would probably be looking at a federated model.
