I wonder if it'd be feasible to make a fediverse github
Git is already a distributed version control system.
But it doesn't have any built-in concept of users, write permissions, or authentication (except for commit signing)
Hosting an unauthenticated git repo would be the equivalent to an open ssh port with no password required
Not to mention collaborative things like issue tracking, PRs, forums, etc
Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve "federation" by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn't suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it's distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.
no, forgejo doesnt have "all that". you are totally missing the point. git is federated, of course, but the added features of forgejo or any other known git forge is not (yet).
Forgejo has those, yes.
and where does forgejo support federation for issues, PRs?
Never said it did, and the comment replying to didn't say it did either.
seems right. actually you were just not responding to the questions of anyone in this chain, but always responding with irrelevant things. and thanks for the downvotes! please bring some more.
"never said it did" was a response to where Forgejo supports federation for issues and PRs.
Well but distributed != federated. Which is why Forgejo is currently working on a federation feature.
