    And for your collaborators who have already added modifications to their local copies? It's broken. Like you said they would have to re-clone.

    If a user with the correct permissions did this, a new hash would be calculated anyway, so I'm not sure that the outcome would be any different. However that old code would still be out there somewhere if people had already cloned it.

    Thank you! This was actually one of the first things I came upon today. Scuttlebut looks really cool and applicable.

    Currencies are a clear candidate, decentralized market places, certain types of chats or communications, maybe git? I haven't spent a lot of time trying to think of applications for it.

    I hear that. People are applying it to every stupid thing these days. I suspect because VC firms are very excited about it cause it's trendy.

    However, I do think blockchain has legitimate applications and that it's a beautiful concept.

    I don't think it's a good solution for most things TBH. I'm not interested in the buzzword aspect of that at all.

    Also a proof of stake chain is different than a proof of work chain. I don't think 700 Thps git mining operations would be cool at all lol.

    The reason I feel this works pretty well is that git repos are already a big ledger. It's just a list of commits with hashes already.

    Also, how's the blockchain going to play around rebases?

    It would already break everyone else repo if you force pushed a rebase to GitHub. That's just bad practice.

    Me too :) TBH, I really don't know if it's possible or viable. That's why I need ya'll brighter and more experienced minds for feedback and help.

    Git is not centralized at all. It's completely distributed. Each user already has a full copy of code and it's version history in each local repository that can be shared and merged.

    Each commit is already hashed. Torrent clients create hashes to create torrents and share them to peers. We would need a layer for authentication and tracking commit hashes to allow users to then share the code with each other with a permissions structure which is where the blockchain would come in. So each project could have an owner and collaborators.

    Basically GitHub, but on a blockchain.

    I have an idea, it's not particularly new. I think git code sharing could integrate very nicely with blockchains.

    I think it could be done elegantly without modifying the git protocol at all, just as an optional superset (like Github) to provide forks, PR and discussion.

    Something like:

    • smart contract based system
    • something like lightening network for off master chain pushes
    • local node hosting all obtained versions of code, something like PNPM meets zeronet
    • cloning/pushing over DHT with web torrent.
    • client key pairs for collaboration and authentication

    Do you guys think it could be done? Thoughts? Ideas? Criticisms?

    Would anyone be interested in working on something like this? I'd like all the help I can get and any input people have.

    Thanks for the great answer! Excellent. I enjoy writing documentation. I've just installed pelican and will see where I can help out.

    We understand our documentation is a bit scattered right now but we're working on that (which you can also help with).

    Hi everyone, I'm a frontend developer and do a bit of backend work as well. I'd really like to contribute some of my downtime to helping build this site. I've checked out the issue tracker on gitlab and some of the docs, tech goals and announcement, but I'd like to start getting my hands dirty and contribute some code.

    • Is there a roadmap for development?
    • A feature list to implement?
    • Bugs to fix?

    How can I help out? What's the best way to get started?

    Also for all non-devs, what is the best way that they can start helping out?

    Howdy everyone! I've just found my way over here. I'm deIeted on reddit as well. I did not leave reddit due to the redesign (thanks RES). I'm looking for alternatives because the site isn't close the what I had originally joined. I loved that site, but was disappointed Conde Nast finally figured out how to monetize it.

    I'm a designer and programmer. I like to tinker with new things and write docs. If the source looks anything like the markup on these pages I'd like to contribute! Next stop, gitlab.
