minus-squaremesa@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoThe closest I found that works is: https://hackaday.com/2024/03/16/radicle-an-open-source-peer-to-peer-github-alternative/ https://radicle.xyz/ It took a LONG time to get set up on one of my systems. It worked! Unfortunately, I found that just having git by itself was fine for my purposes. And most people are throwing in behind codeberg which is fine by me.
minus-squarekybean@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoForgejo, the software project powering Codeberg, is working on adding federation but it’s got a long way to go before it’s a usable feature

minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoHuh. Gitlab just said it’s too hard with their cut staffing numbers and they’re not doing federation.
minus-squareалсааас [she/they]@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoYeah, IRRC thus far they only have starring (not I starring, mind you) implemented and it’s not even in main yet
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days ago…git is federated. i’m assuming they’re talking about things like issues and runners, but i don’t think that’s really necessary…
minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 day ago Gitlab just said …git is federated If you read it again, you may find I said gitlab and not just git. And we won’t talk about how git’s decentralization is nothing like the concept of federation as it’s being used in this entire discussion.
minus-squareалсааас [she/they]@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoAs in the federation of Forges, like Forgejo is trying to do
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoyeah that’s what i don’t really understand. they’re like building a separate layer on top of git, when things like fossil exist.
