Git remote helper over Freenet—actually cloneable demos prove it works today.
Strengths
- •Git remote-helper integration means normal Git commands work without modification
- •Live demo repos actually clonable today proves it's not vaporware
- •Rescue command solves real Freenet chunk-eviction problem cleverly
Weaknesses
- •No multi-writer ACL yet means only repo owner can push directly
- •Freenet's limited adoption means narrow audience despite technical novelty
Category
Target Audience
Decentralization advocates, censorship-resistant tooling users, Freenet community

Post Description
Freenet's philosophy is "decentralize everything" and one of the things I've long wanted to apply that to is Git. The original Git concept was decentralized but for practical reasons most people use centralized hosting services like GitHub.
For anyone unfamiliar, Freenet[1] is a general purpose platform for building decentralized systems.
So I implemented a working prototype which already hosts the freenet-core repo, integrating as a git remote helper. It's still early so I'd greatly appreciate any feedback and will iterate quickly if there is interest.
