The video of my interview with @JArroyoFerrer about @CodebaseLabs from a few months ago is on YouTube https://t.co/fgqFnP9Ssw

Decentralized Git hosting powered by permissionless protocols.

Empowering communities with tools for ownership and governance.

If you don’t like the Git CLI, this also works in other tools like GitHub Desktop

“I anticipate that each software community will have its own ideas about governance so ideally Codebase will to cater to that”

@NeoKree I think the goal for Codebase has to be user/org owned and controlled repos, etc (canisters) that can decide if and when they want upgrades.

In practice I think there’s a lot to figure out there, and a lot of it isn’t specific to Codebase.

[Paul Young @py]

This means that when a user tries to push to (or otherwise access) a repository, we can verify that they have permission to do so.

By using public key authentication we never expose any sensitive information in requests.

[Paul Young @py]

I just cloned a repo from a local version of Codebase where `git clone` seamlessly signed requests with the private key specified in my Git config and then Codebase verified them with the corresponding public key.

Minor update on Codebase:

We can now interact with repos at https://t.co/LYsjz76uyL as well as via the canister URL.

Try it out!

git clone https://t.co/B9YcsGyPeQ

or

git clone https://t.co/oP9knNoqcX

Existing platforms are stuck in the past. Commit to the future at https://t.co/O1Lkiy5clJ

[Paul Young @py]

Codebase is a decentralized next-gen platform that works with your favorite clients and existing workflows.

[Paul Young @py]

Codebase solves this by incentivizing contributions, rewarding contributors, and empowering communities through tokenized governance.

[Paul Young @py]

The communities around them have both a sense of entitlement and a lack of influence. Despite the demand, maintainers can’t justify working for free and are getting burned out.

[Paul Young @py]

Existing platforms have allowed open source software to be exploited by corporations who have turned it into a source of free labor. Even the most popular projects are failing to meet their sponsorship goals.

Introducing: Codebase

Codebase is a decentralized alternative to platforms like GitHub. Codebase enables a future where incentives are aligned and software development can be sustainable. A future where software communities are empowered instead of exploited.
