Make it happen brother! You have the power
We can make them obsolete
💜
I agree. Check out my project gitworkshop.dev and ngit built on nostr.

Agreed! 👊🏾😎⚡️🍷
I wonder when we will arrive at the pay for running storage scenario? In other words you mine Bitcoin by having storage for others to connect to. If you get paid for running storage you are incentivized to encourage others and this is decentralized. Like mempool but worse.
Totally 💯
Everything Nostr
you still need merge permissions to run a specific codebase
There is "filecoin" and "chia" which allegedly do that storage renting stuff. Doesn't really seem to work.
Qubes has been duscussing this for 7 years. I'd bet they would consider a nostr alternative if someone else maintained it.
Redirecting…
GiTea isn't a viable option?
What happend to that project prasented at Nostr World?
Great idea, let’s make it happen — I’ll put up 10 zaps for whoever makes it real. 😅
Yeah gotta be done. 👍
And BitTorrent... It's a mess.
Nostr fixes this
and "storj" was another one
In theory a great idea, they just all have shitcoins attached to them... IPFS + lightning would be cool imo
@Randy McMillan is coding gnostr as fast as he can
"I have to trust that the interface telling me that he has approved the PR is being truthful when I merge it. "
They'd love signed OTS'd ACKs:
GitHub
Distrust the infrastructure in workflow management, issue tracking, and doc PR review · Issue #3958 · QubesOS/qubes-issues
We aim to distrust the infrastructure. However, as we've discussed previously and more recently, we actually trust GitHub quite a bit for workflow ...
I suppose here the idea is rather a developer platform which enables code sharing and communication for developers/development.
wasn't randy working on something like this?
@Randy McMillan
I think IPFS is better for this
What's the benefit to using OTS vs PGP signing an ACK that includes the date and time?
Say a vulnerability was merged 1 year ago and it was ACK'd by someone who has since had their PGP compromised. How would you know the ACK was signed ahead of the merge rather than after the key compromise?
Its also a lot more convienent to sign and verify messages as every interaction has to be signed.
But why nostrGit is host on GITHUB ??
Yep @Randy McMillan and he’s STILL on X ffs
Haha... It should start somewhere! Like, the egg and chicken paradox!
hope they will have time to grow, inside the hell 😅
Good point.
That is actually no joke, because "GitHub, Inc. has been a subsidiary of Microsoft since 2018."
NostrGit
one would think that would have been done by now after 3 years and millions of funding

pepperidge farm remembers when the bounty for this was opened by @jack years ago!
Beautiful
The original distributed code 🗿
Devs, listen up. I might have an idea y'all can pull off:
Take the source code to Forjego, fork it, and set it up for Nostr integration with the necessary NIPs in order to pull this off.

I agree. Nostr really seems like an ideal fit
Matt, GitHub is not good enough! We must make something better on Nostr! I’ve lost so much of my life to GitHub shenanigans.
bruh get on Radicle: 

Radicle: the sovereign forge
Sovereign code infrastructure.
It's happening. @GitCitadel
WHAT ABOUT GITEA?
IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE
ENJOY THE NOISE
Someone else (who was it, again, I'm starting to lose track 😅 ) is working on a Nostr API for the various git servers, like Github, Gitea, GitLab, etc. and we're going to tap into that for our own OneDev instance.
I think they also want to do a plugin for VS Code, or something.
Do you say that a structure like github so complex can be replaced by ours? 🤔
With gitea there is no intergratiom across insrances. You can't take your account with you, there is no shared notification system, etc.
Gitea sold out. Went for for-profit.

GutHub [nostr note by jack]
For those interested in a decentralized Git, it's worth reading the project's vision: 
GitHub
NostrGit/documentation/vision.md at main · NostrGit/NostrGit
A truly censorship-resistant alternative to GitHub that has a chance of working - NostrGit/NostrGit
when we have a distributed repository of optional code patches, there will be a Cambrian explosion of implementations...
node runners will select what to run.
we will have a new form of consensus, not a protocol change, but of software compilation
this link is not easy to follow from amethyst.. I get trapped in primal's browser app
still.. nice bounty
