Peer to peer network and storage for Git. Good concept. Still under active development.

It sounds like an interesting alternative. Regardless if it's the best choice or not, it's always good to have more alternatives so we don't get trapped in GitHub.

love how different it is from other ones (github, gitlab, gitea, forgejo) and their concept. but not a single project i know uses it unfortunately.

Recently the bt mesh network p2p messenger bitchat icon bitchat upload all their codebase on radicle because the governement of India asked GitHub to ban it.

As censorship is growing more and more resistance is adapting and such tools that resists will become more popular.

What is Radicle?

Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.

The Radicle protocol leverages cryptographic identities for code and social artifacts, utilizes Git for efficient data transfer between peers, and employs a custom gossip protocol for exchanging repository metadata.

Your Data, Forever and Secure

All social artifacts are stored in Git, and signed using public-key cryptography. Radicle verifies the authenticity and authorship of all data for you. Unparalleled Autonomy

Radicle enables users to run their own nodes, ensuring censorship-resistant code collaboration and fostering a resilient network without reliance on third-parties. Local-first

Radicle is local-first, providing always-available functionality even without internet access. Users own their data, making migration, backup, and access easy both online and offline. Evolvable & Extensible

Radicle’s Collaborative Objects (COBs) provide Radicle’s social primitive. This enables features such as issues, discussions and code review to be implemented as Git objects. Developers can extend Radicle’s capabilities to build any kind of collaboration flow they see fit. Modular by Design

The Radicle Stack comes with a CLI, web interface and TUI, that are backed by the Radicle Node and HTTP Daemon. It’s modular, so any part can be swapped out and other clients can be developed.
