Show HN: GitLike – Decentralized Git Hosting on IPFS (gitlike.dev)
3 points by Omodaka9375 57 days ago | hide | past | favorite
I built GitLike because code hosting shouldn’t depend on a single company. Platforms change pricing, restrict features, or disappear, and developers scramble to migrate. GitLike stores repos on *IPFS as content-addressed objects*, with commits, trees, and blobs living on a decentralized network. Authentication uses *Ethereum wallets via SIWE*, so there are no passwords to leak.

Key Features: - Solo developers: Push code and know it’s pinned on IPFS; your CIDs are yours forever. - Teams: Collaborate using wallet addresses, branch protection, pull requests, and agent delegations. - AI agents: Delegate scoped write access with EIP-191 signatures so agents can commit, branch, and merge safely. - Self-hosters: Deploy your own instance on Cloudflare Workers and federate under your domain. - Status monitoring - CLI - SPA hosting via app.gitlike.dev

The goal is simple: a Git-like workflow where you own your data. Fork it, self-host it, federate it. Your keys, your code.

The full codebase is open-source and available on GitLike itself.

I’d love feedback from the community — especially on usability, security, and federation.
