Radicle is a sovereign {code forge} built on Git. Get started ↓ Run a seed → Guides Download FAQ Community Updates Synopsis Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow. The Radicle heartwood repository. Repository ID rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5. Get started 💾 · To install Radicle, simply run the command below from your shell, or go to the download page. curl -sSLf https://radicle.xyz/install | sh Alternatively, you can build from source.

How it works The Radicle protocol leverages cryptographic identities for code and social artifacts, utilizes Git for efficient data transfer between peers, and employs a custom gossip protocol for exchanging repository metadata. Learn more → Your Data, Forever and Secure All social artifacts are stored in Git, and signed using public-key cryptography. Radicle verifies the authenticity and authorship of all data for you. Unparalleled Autonomy Radicle enables users to run their own nodes, ensuring censorship-resistant code collaboration and fostering a resilient network without reliance on third-parties. Local-first Radicle is local-first, providing always-available functionality even without internet access. Users own their data, making migration, backup, and access easy both online and offline. Evolvable & Extensible Radicle’s Collaborative Objects (COBs) provide Radicle’s social primitive. This enables features such as issues, discussions and code review to be implemented as Git objects. Developers can extend Radicle’s capabilities to build any kind of collaboration flow they see fit. Modular...
