ngit

Aplicación Descentralizada

A decentralized GitHub alternative built on Nostr enabling code collaboration via Nostr relays. The ngit CLI tool (Rust) implements NIP-34 (git-over-Nostr) for publishing repositories to Nostr, cloning via nostr:// URLs, opening pull requests as Nostr events, and issue tracking without centralized servers. Git servers still handle data storage and syncing; Nostr handles coordination, discovery, PR workflows, and issue tracking. Multiple git servers can be used for redundancy and seamlessly swapped. The gitworkshop.dev web interface provides a browsable frontend for Nostr repositories.

Dominios de Caso de Uso

Co-creación y Conocimiento

Aplicación Descentralizada Atributos

Orígenes Developer tooling / Decentralized infrastructure (motivated by GitHub's centralized control over code collaboration; uses Nostr for permissionless coordination while retaining git for data storage)
Base de Datos Nostr relays (repository metadata, PR events, issue events, branch state); git servers (actual code storage — self-hosted or any provider)
Lenguaje de Consulta Nostr event subscription filters; git protocol (data retrieval from git servers)
Formatos de Datos Nostr events (NIP-34 repository events, patch events, PR events, issue events, merge events); git objects (commits, trees, blobs via standard git protocol); nostr:// URL format
Edición Colaborativa en Vivo N/A
Edición de Texto Enriquecido N/A (CLI tool; web interface via gitworkshop.dev)
Soporte Móvil N/A (CLI tool)
Soporte Web Yes (gitworkshop.dev web interface for browsing Nostr repositories)
Aplicaciones Nativas Yes (ngit CLI — Linux, macOS, Windows via Rust/Cargo)
Términos Free / Open source
Fondos Undisclosed
Basado En Nostr (Fed Pro — coordination, discovery, PR/issue events); NIP-34 (git-over-Nostr standard); git (distributed version control)
Categoría de Caso de Uso Developer tooling / Code collaboration
Tipo de Interfaz de Usuario CLI + web (ngit CLI for git workflows; gitworkshop.dev for repository browsing and PR review)
Capacidades sin Conexión High (git data local by design; Nostr events cached by relays; offline git operations standard)
Funciones de Colaboración Pull requests (Nostr events); issue tracking (Nostr events); multi-maintainer repository model; relay-based code discovery

Ecosistema de Integraciones Nostr ecosystem; any git server provider; Nix package manager; Cargo (Rust package manager)
Exportación de Datos de Web2 No
Coherencia Prosocial High (permissionless code collaboration; no GitHub account required; multiple git server redundancy eliminates single point of control; developer-owned identity via Nostr keypairs)
Flujos Económicos No
Gobernanza y Toma de Decisiones Decentralized (maintainer model via Nostr events; no central authority over repository access)
Medios / Publicación No
Gestión del Conocimiento Yes (repository README and documentation via git)
Sensemaking Partial (Nostr relay-based repository discovery via gitworkshop.dev)
Gestión de Proyectos Yes (PR workflow; issue tracking; branch management via ngit CLI)
Modelo de Comunicación Asynchronous (PR and issue events via Nostr relays)
Resiliencia de Red High (multiple git server redundancy; Nostr relay diversity; no GitHub dependency)
Mecanismo de Descubrimiento Nostr relay-based; gitworkshop.dev browsable index; nostr:// clone URLs
Participantes Máximos Unlimited
Soberanía de Datos High (user-owned Nostr keypair; self-hosted or multi-server git storage; no platform custody)
