So... files are hosted in the blockchain?
[EDIT]
from what I am seeing... this only stores links to already existing repositories? Right?... So TBH, it is ok.. but not what most people will think it is :(
Github is not just a fronted, but also server provider for "main" repository.
More coming soon, this system is even capable of handling pull requests off-site ;) .
There's nothing stopping you from holding your repository in something like IPFS. Thanks to this, you wouldn't need to remember
ipfs.io/adidahfidfhdusf932uergue9fgd9xhuddhsaudhsiuahda
- instead, justnoisy/myproject
did you saw project which I linked yesterday?
http://gitchain.org/
Nope, never saw that.
That project looks dead. I can't find any source code, and the kickstarter looks like it died off 2 years ago, with a tiny "backers only" update a few months ago.
I may have to build something like it, using IPFS and git-steem. I'm sure I could make it as easy as
git-steem publish someguy123/my-project
to upload your git repo to IPFS and tag it onto your profile.sources are here: https://github.com/gitchain/gitchain
