    There’s also a p2p “plugin” to git, but things like that always feel like a workaround to me. The random hacker in India also doesn’t know about it.

      I don’t really see what that solves tbh. Not having a central source of truth seems like it could cause issues and git is already pretty much decentralized because everyone who’s working on a repo will have a copy on their own device and cam upload that to whatever forge they want. Aside from that, you lose all the features a git forge gives you, especially the ability for people to actually find the repo.

        especially the ability for people to actually find the repo.

        Vs. a random git URL or a centralized repo everyone knows?

          Everything you can find on the internet is a “random URL” in that sense but that URL can be searched on search engines and shared. But I don’t know how that p2p git thing works, so maybe I’m assuming it’s more complicated than it actually is.
