Not to "um, actually", but I'm gonna "um actually" - technically, using git to host code in a decentralized fashion has been a standard capability of git since it's inception. So it's not really a new idea, just a new iteration

All I hear is “I don’t understand git remotes and what radicle does”

Feel free to enlighten me

https://radicle.xyz

The Radicle protocol leverages cryptographic identities for code and social artifacts, utilizes Git for efficient data transfer between peers, and employs a custom gossip protocol for exchanging repository metadata.

So it has a gossip protocol to spread the repo, and a common format for artifacts (issues, PRs, etc) to act more like GitHub.

I don’t know too much more because I just started looking into it a month or two ago and haven’t done a deep dive. But it’s a layer on top of git to spread repositories peer to peer instead of manually having people add remotes.

Nice, thanks for the info!

Thanks for politely asking for more info. I find myself a bit brash sometimes as I live on crypto twitter as my day job. So sorry if the initial message was harsh; I deal with a lot of shit posters.
