git-remote-ipfs
A Git transport helper for pushing and pulling repositories directly from IPFS.
What is git-remote-ipfs?
git-remote-ipfs is a Git transport helper that allows users to push and pull Git repositories to and from the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). It solves the problem of centralized Git hosting by enabling decentralized, peer-to-peer storage for version-controlled code. This means repositories can be shared and accessed directly via IPFS without relying on traditional servers like GitHub or GitLab.
Developers and teams working with Git who want to explore decentralized version control, or those needing resilient, censorship-resistant repository storage. It's particularly relevant for open-source contributors and projects prioritizing distributed systems.
It offers a unique integration between Git and IPFS, providing a native way to use decentralized storage as a Git remote. Developers choose it for its simplicity in enabling peer-to-peer collaboration and reducing dependency on centralized hosting platforms.
