The best way to move your git repo onto Nostr, and escape the clutches of GitHub, is to just lock your repo on GitHub to Issues and Proposals/PRs. I'm serious. Just go cold-turkey and write:

"please submit issues and proposals to: https://gitworkshop.dev/r/naddrbunchofnumbers"

You can still use it as a gitserver, but maybe go ahead and try to set up a new gitserver, or use https://codeberg.org or something.

As long as you have your GitHub repo open for interaction, that is where the interaction will be because people are creatures of habit. GitHub has a strong network effect that makes everyone mindless GitHub drones.

Here is the value proposition:

If you move to Nostr, you have the network effect of Nostr. Nostr is full of FOSS devs, and users writing wikis manuals and docs, so if enough of us move, then we can actually concentrate the effect and increase the interaction in each of our repos, since someone's npub will be a way to find their repo and interact with it, and the dev chatter will spill into Nostr... from Nostr.

i recommend https://mleku.net/legit as a good starting point for hosting git+http on top of standard ssh

anyone more skilled than me can make it look a lot more pretty than i have, and i'm shit at web design, css and html, but it needs some love, several features don't actually work properly, notably the diff views

I'll move over once the site implements remote signing. Or GitRepublic is ready to use. Whatever comes first.

You mean nsec bunker?
