Composable protocols
Git + DWN Protocols
Git is already decentralized.
Now everything else is too.
gitd takes everything that still depends on a central host — issues, pull requests, CI, releases, packages — and moves it into DWN protocols. Your repositories, your identity, your data. No platform lock-in.

Why gitd
Your identity, not a platform account
DIDs replace platform-bound usernames. Your identity and trust graph stay portable across any host.
Issues and contributions you own
Issues, stars, follows, notifications, and contributions live on DWNs instead of a central database.
Cryptographic permissions
Collaborator roles and repo authorization are signed records, not toggles in someone else's dashboard.
Clone and push with DIDs
Use DID-based git remotes with signed push authentication and role checks. No SSH keys on a third-party server.
Verifiable packages
Publish DID-scoped versions with attestations, provenance, and recursive dependency trust verification.
Migrate from GitHub
Import repositories, issues, pull requests, and releases to bootstrap decentralized collaboration quickly.
One CLI for the full git lifecycle
Setup, clone, push, issues, patches, releases, CI, package publishing, migration, and a local web viewer — all in one toolchain.
$ gitd setup
$ gitd clone did:dht:abc123/my-repo
$ gitd issue create "Bug report"
$ gitd patch create "Add indexing support"
$ gitd ci create <commit>
$ gitd registry publish my-pkg 1.0.0 ./pkg.tgz
$ gitd migrate all owner/repo
$ gitd web --port 3000How the protocols work
Repos, issues, and code review
Repo metadata, refs, issues, patches, and wiki pages are signed DWN records. Any host can reconstruct project state from them.
Releases, CI, and packages
Releases, CI runs, package versions, and attestations are protocol records with verifiable provenance — not vendor metadata.
Identity and access control
DIDs anchor user identity. Collaborator roles, org membership, and notifications are cryptographically authorized and portable.
Discovery and social signals
Stars and follows are distributed social data that indexers aggregate for search, trending, and reputation across independent hosts.
