       @3d2e5150 saw yall takin a look at decentralized git solutions and github replacement on bitcoin core discussion:https://bitcoin-irc.chaincode.com/bitcoin-core-dev/2026-01-16Here's a couple of sources and Nostr-based solutions you could give a try:- NIP34 spec: https://nips.nostr.com/34- GitHub-like client: https://gitworkshop.dev- Discord/Slack type of client with Git-integration: https://budabit.club- ... and some others, so there's quite some effort to make code collab work with Nostr- The grasp spec is also interesting, it is a git server with nostr-native auth, designed to be easy-to-run and to accept code collab oriented nostr events, so a relay is packaged with it:https://ngit.dev/grasp/Grasp is the grug-brain solution to what radicle is trying to do for years but I think this has much better chance to work.Why nostr?Because it is more decentralized yet much simpler than Fediverse / Mastodon and Bluesky.All above solutions lack full functionality compared to github but hopefully you can see where this is going.It is trivial to moderate your relay, be it comments or any other events. Nostr-git is becoming increasingly standardized so your data is portable and signed.Open to any questions!cc @a008def1 @3bf0c63f

       Do any of them have any kind of moderation tools (to prevent the inevitable flood of spam and illegal content)? At least gitworkshop.dev doesn’t appear to actually use decentralized storage for everything, still requires a git host.radicle seems like a much better concept for how to do this type of thing (just use git for everything!) vs bothering with nostr, but if someone managed to build a product that met the requirements on nostr that would also be fine enough.

       Worth pointing out that radicle’s approach is substantially more censorship-resistant and decentralized than nostr.

       Well, I suppose not strictly more censorship resistant on the ability to post, depends on the config, but certainly around takedowns.

       i think the git nostr spec is agnostic to where the git server is hosted. from what I remember when I was testing it, it's just a way to publish git repo metadata and issues

       Right but then it’s not really a complete GitHub replacement? If we still have to host gitea or whatever why shouldn’t we just use it.

       you think you won't have to host anything if you use radicle? of course you will, either you host or you trust someone else will keep your repo on their always-on computer, which is the same

       You can use any platform you want, even mirror between them but keep them redundant by publishing the state of branches, and other metadata to nostr.By keeping the metadata on nostr you are not locked in to platform identites and the data is actually portable because it's standardized in a NIP.Gitea, gitlab, github, forgejo and others give you one model that is hard to migrate and data is not signed by sovereig identities. In short you are married to their way of things

       As @d04ecf33 said you can use any git server you want or host it yourself. Grasp is designed to enable users and projects to either self host, use grasp services offered by individuals or teams in their network or use public free or paid servers. The idea is thst projects use multiple grasp services at the same time whic sync up to provides reduncancy. Its also really simple for maintainers to switch service providers by updating a single event.
