So when are we going to collectively suck it up and write a federated GitHub-like thing? I mean, we've been needing it for years and just nobody's gotten around to it.
@icefox I mean... Git is decentralized. And there's Gitlab
@charlescodes Git is decentralized but has no notification system and API to let programs using git to communicate with each other in a consistent fashion. Git's own decentralization model is built around emailing patches around. Which is fine, but very primitive compared to Github.
Gitlab doesn't federate, afaik. If I run my own gitlab server and want to make a PR to your Gitlab server, I need to make an account on your server.
@icefox sure there is, git pull git:// or git pull ssh://... Just like passing around patchsets, but different.
Yes, there is not a decentralized bug tracker. That might be cool.
