It was mostly a joke/irony.

Git is already a “distributed version control system” that does exactly what I’ve described. On the other hand, relying on centralized systems such as GitHub means that the “distributed” nature of it doesn’t make it any more resilient to failure.

I wonder if it would be effective at blocking its own ads… 🤔

Based on these ads, I do not trust the site anyway.

Love the concept, though.

Would be cool to see those as extensions to Git. Surely they could just be more Git objects?

What we need is some sort of distributed version control system.

I’m not quite sure how it will work yet, but it would have the entire codebase and its history mirrored onto every developer’s computer. Instead of requiring a central repository, developers could share their changes directly with each other.

I find it’s the GUI tools that are usually cryptic, especially when you want to do more than the most basic operations.

They start off by saying their PieFed instance was down.

Been there, done that. Eventually got fed up with having to wait 30 minutes to several hours to install (build) something just to try it out, not like it and then delete it.
