SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Facilitates Git collaboration over the Nostr protocol by enabling nostr:// remotes and workflows for PRs, issues, and repository state, removing the need for a central Git server.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides commands and workflows for nostr:// git repositories using the ngit CLI and git-remote-nostr to publish and read repository state.
  • Supports cloning nostr:// URLs, pushing PRs, creating and reviewing issues, and managing repository metadata through Nostr relays.
  • Useful for distributed teams needing interoperable remotes and decoupled data storage, with git objects on standard servers and state on Nostr relays.

Quick Start

Install ngit and clone a nostr:// URL to begin managing PRs, issues, and repository state over Nostr.

Frequently Asked Questions about ngit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Can I use Nostr for decentralized git collaboration?▼

You can use Nostr for decentralized git collaboration by publishing repository state, pull requests, and issues to Nostr relays using the ngit CLI and git-remote-nostr. This removes the need for a central Git server while maintaining standard git data storage.

How do I clone a git repository from a nostr:// URL?▼

To clone a git repository from a nostr:// URL, install the ngit CLI and git-remote-nostr helper. Once configured, you can run standard git clone commands against nostr:// remotes to pull repository data and sync state from Nostr relays.

Do I need a Nostr relay to manage git pull requests and issues?▼

Yes, you need access to Nostr relay infrastructure to manage git pull requests and issues. The ngit workflow publishes repository state, PRs, and issues to Nostr relays, decoupling data storage from git object storage on standard servers.

What is the best way to sync git state across distributed teams?▼

The best way to sync git state across distributed teams is using nostr:// remotes. The ngit CLI automates syncing repository metadata and state between Nostr relays and git servers, enabling interoperable remotes for decentralized collaboration.

Does git-remote-nostr support standard git operations like pushing and pulling?▼

Yes, git-remote-nostr supports standard git operations like pushing and pulling. It acts as a remote helper for nostr:// URLs, allowing you to push commits, create pull requests, and review issues directly through the Nostr protocol.

What are the limitations of using Nostr for git repository storage?▼

When using Nostr for git repository storage, git objects remain on standard git servers while state is published to Nostr relays. This requires both the ngit CLI and git-remote-nostr, meaning you must maintain access to compatible relay infrastructure for state publishing.
