Lightfire228@pawb.social 1 month agoI wonder if it’d be feasible to make a fediverse github

There was a discussion on Forgejo and ActivityPub IIRC

An interesting similar idea is github.com/gitsocial-org/gitsocial
“Decentralized open-source Git-native social network”

Git is already a distributed version control system.
Lightfire228@pawb.social 1 month ago
But it doesn’t have any built-in concept of users, write permissions, or authentication (except for commit signing)
Hosting an unauthenticated git repo would be the equivalent to an open ssh port with no password
Not to mention collaborative things like issue tracking, PRs, forums, etc

Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve “federation” by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn’t suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it’s distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.

Well but distributed != federated. Which is why Forgejo is currently working on a federation feature.

no, forgejo doesnt have “all that”. you are totally missing the point. git is federated, of course, but the added features of forgejo or any other known git forge is not (yet).
