Right, but we're social creatures. We need to be able to connect. But yeah, fully p2p apps (DHT) with optional federated cache servers to serve as backups, pubsub gateways, and semantic search engines could do it.

@alanz @cykros @Framasoft

@h @alanz @christobal @Framasoft

Yeah that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Looks like I need to look more into handling multiple origins and using post-merge hooks.

@alanz @cykros @Framasoft

Yeah, it's a tragedy. Even when using decentralised systems we tend to converge (centralise) on the same services anyway (eg. Gmail)...

@cykros @Framasoft

There is git on #ssb (using DHT) https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25n92DiQh7ietE%2BR%2BX%2FI403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU%3D.sha256

@dnld Yeah that would be my go-to if there was a way to federate with other git servers.

@christobal @Framasoft

There is http://git.scuttlebot.io/

@alanz @christobal @Framasoft

Yeah both good options, but without federation it doesn't address the network effects problem. (I want my code to be discoverable by other devs, and to easily collaborate with people. This would force collaborators to also sign up and use the same service as me.)

@h Yeah gogs is nice option, but I like gitlab's featureset

@zee @Framasoft

Aha, post-merge hooks! will look into that thanks :)

@christobal @Framasoft

I know right, git a decentralised system, but we've come to rely on these extra things on top... A federated Gitlab would awesome, and there was discussions about it, but that was before the big VC money... Doubt the core team will do it now, but maybe someone else could?

I know right, git a decentralised system, but we've come to really on this extra layer on top... A federated Gitlab would awesome, and there was discussions about it, but that was before the big VC money... Doubt the core team will do it now, but maybe someone else could?

The problem with this setup is that Gitlab is very slow to pull changes, it's far from a live sync.

The advantage is that I'm primarily using an ethical libre service (#Framasoft), whilst taking advantage of features I've only found on the wannabe big player (#Gitlab), and still being having a presence on the place with the biggest network effects (#Github)...

Still, if you know a better way, I'm all ears!

Looking for a better way to #git.

Tired of #libre sofware #sourcecode being centralised on big players' platforms.

Sourceforge is dying a slow death. Github is too big (but not too big to fail!) Gitlab is now controlled by VCs.

I could setup my own git server, but don't want to isolate myself from potential collaborators.

Today I tried this 3 repo setup:

- Main repo on https://framagit.org by @Framasoft

- Gitlab.com setup as a mirror bridge, pulling from Framagit and pushing to Github

@muninn

What a nice surprise! That sounds like the opposite of what I call lazy people programming (which is sadly all too common).

@LottieVixen
You mean the App Store ?

@lehighcommunalist
Does not apply at US border though.
