Your repositories, your identity, your data. gitd moves issues, patches, CI, releases, and package publishing onto decentralised protocols. No platform lock-in.
Why gitd
gitd doesn't replace git. It extends it with decentralised protocols for everything that still depends on a platform.
Every push is signed with your DID. No SSH keys managed by a third party. No usernames. Just cryptographic proof.
11 independent protocols for issues, patches, CI, releases, registry, wiki, org, notifications, and social. Use what you need.
Private repos use JWE-encrypted DWN records. Only authorised DIDs can read. No server has your plaintext.
API shim, npm/go/OCI registry shims, and a migration tool to import existing repos, issues, and PRs. Adopt incrementally.
No single point of failure. Your DWN is your server. Sync with anyone who speaks the protocol.
gitd web launches a local web interface for browsing repos, issues, and patches. No cloud dashboard needed.
CLI
Setup, clone, create issues, submit patches, run CI, publish packages, and migrate from GitHub. Everything from your terminal.
$ gitd setup
# Generates DID, configures credential helper
$ gitd clone did:dht:abc123/my-repo
# Clone from a decentralised web node
$ gitd issue create --title "Fix auth"
$ gitd patch create
$ gitd ci create
$ gitd registry publish
$ gitd migrate all --from github
$ gitd webProtocol Architecture
Each protocol defines a DWN record schema. Your DWN stores the data. The gitd CLI reads and writes it. Anyone running the same protocol can interoperate.
Repository metadata, description, visibility, and default branch configuration stored as a DWN record.
Issue tracking with labels, assignees, and threaded comments. All records signed by author DIDs.
Decentralised pull requests. Submit patches, review, comment, and merge without a central forge.
CI pipeline definitions and run results. Trigger builds, publish status checks, review logs.
Versioned releases with changelogs and binary attachments. Signed by the maintainer DID.
Package publishing for npm, Go modules, and OCI images. Registry shims for backward compatibility.
Your repositories, your identity, your data. Start in 30 seconds.
