Stop trying to make fetch happen… OK what about pull.
Sounds like fetch with extra steps
Do we have federated git yet?
Git itself is already capable of distributed usage, which is better than federated/decentralized.
‘Distributed’ and ‘decentralized’ in this sense:
But in terms of the Git hosting service, with an issue board and all that, which is often called a “git forge”, you’ve got Forgejo working on an implementation, as well as ForgeFed as a general protocol (also work-in-progress).
It’s funny how git was carefully designed to be decentralized and resistant to failure from any single node… and we immediately put all our fault tolerance on the back of one corporate-owned entity. Welp.
It’s because they solved all the version control problems, but not accessibility and discoverability. I’m probably not going to try and use git peer-to-peer with a total stranger.
git yes.
GitHub like services, no. Codeberg/forgejo looks promising, but theres a lot of discussion on what it should “look” like. Seems like its a pretty big challenge to do correctly.
Yeah my biggest complaint about Codeberg is that stuff can be hard to find
Wouldn’t help if your chosen instance is down, same problem unless multiple other people are storing your code on their servers
Otherwise it kinda already is federated, you can have multiple remotes configured for a repo and push to both at once I’m pretty sure, then if one goes down you just use the other and sync later
Next time try
git streets-ahead originwhats the joke here. Streets ahead is a popular real estate agent here
Please tell me where you are so I can move there immediately.
The joke (and probably the source of the realtors name) is from community:
Ah I see, thanks for the context
Pop pop!
There should be a git cli client that plays gifs instead of errors.
Can we invoke it like
gif pull?
Ah… Git.
The decentralised version control system.
I mean, it’s decentralized alright, but it doesn’t mean it’s HA or automatically replicated. You can just use a different origin server and push/pull from it instead.
My comment is more about how we have this decentralised tool, but we’re unable to get our collective heads out of the centralised model. We e ended up turning it back into centralised VCS.
I get what you mean. GitHub and friends have pushed that back to a more centralized approach. However I think that it’s not too bad actually. Most projects tend to be centralized too
I’ve pulled and pushed to a common branch that only existed on the machines of a colleague and mine to avoid running automatic pipelines due to us pushing to the gitlab remote, since we were doing some experimentation. I’ve also pulled and pushed from a separate repo on my own machine.
Git is fantastic, because these use cases are not edge cases but standard
