Federated GitLab? Yes, please…
I run my own GitLab. You run your own GitLab. Your GitLab sends my GitLab a pull request.
How cool would that be?
If you’d like to see that, take a moment to upvote issue #4013: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013
@aral
The best would be federated repo.
You search for example "random software" and it returns you all the repos with this random software on every gitlab instance
@aral While that would be cool, it'd be awesome if this was not a feature of a specific git server and as agnostic to that.
@liw Agree.
@aral Yeah, ever since I started using my gitea instance, I've been worrying that people would have trouble submitting issues and pull requests.
@aral Yes! Federate everything! Especially if it were to use #ActivityPub. I'd love to be able to follow a project from a #Mastodon or #Aardwolf account.
@aral I'm definitely down for the idea.
@aral Have you also looked at ipfs?
@mushmouth Yep. Also Dat. Not sure how it either would solve this issue though. Something like ActivityPub might. But the core issue is that we’re building web apps for many instead of web apps for one that are federated; personal web apps, if you will.
@aral Focusing on the federated web is a lot more important in my eyes. The cenentralized web is really out dated.
@drwho But that’s not Git :)
@aral It seems to be Git-compatible. You can import and manipulate Git repos, and I've accidentally used Git in Fossil projects without harm.
UberGeek.bak @aral is that just how regular git works anyways?
@UberGeek Git, yes. GitHub, GitLab, etc., no.
