The Samourai repo not being available anymore reminded me of some nostr note I saw a couple of days ago where someone seemed to have a working git-on-nostr thing going on. Does anyone know what I'm talking about here?
Discussion
Ya i think you mean this? https://gitworkshop.dev/about
Yes! Thanks
You can announce multiple remote git servers for your repo but you still need public git servers to host it
Yeah, and git also let you define multiple remotes too so nothing special with ngit there I guess. These news just reminded me of the note I saw earlier but forgot to bookmark, not specifically related to Samourai case.
If you are on amethyst, you can see my repo:

Creator of ngit and gitworkshop here.
The innovation is moving the issues, PRs and discussion off a centralised platform and decentralising it with nostr.
Whilst a git repo can be easily pushed to a new git server, this extra social layer cannot.
This conversation history is usually not cached locally and can be easily lost if github delete a project.
Yeah don't get me wrong, ngit looks awesome, I want to test it with my own projects some time
Yeah repo 403
But i have it still in fdroid and was able to just intall via fdroid repo
Git allows for replication.
Yeah I worded this post incorrectly. Obv you can set multiple remotes in a git repo and push to each of them to decentralize the code but the Samourai news just gave me a slight reminder that I had forgot to check out the ngit post I saw earlier this week.
