Codebase

The video of my interview with @JArroyoFerrer about @CodebaseLabs from a few months ago is on YouTube youtu.be/9VXWcLOsdBM

Decentralized Git hosting powered by permissionless protocols. Empowering communities with tools for ownership and governance. @CodebaseLabs youtu.be/qf8sKhJAnUg

If you don’t like the Git CLI, this also works in other tools like GitHub Desktop

Cloning a repo from codebase.org, hosted on the Internet Computer, using the IC’s native auth

“I anticipate that each software community will have its own ideas about governance so ideally Codebase will to cater to that” forum.dfinity.org/t/introducing-…

@NeoKree I think the goal for Codebase has to be user/org owned and controlled repos, etc (canisters) that can decide if and when they want upgrades. In practice I think there’s a lot to figure out there, and a lot of it isn’t specific to Codebase.

This means that when a user tries to push to (or otherwise access) a repository, we can verify that they have permission to do so. By using public key authentication we never expose any sensitive information in requests.

I just cloned a repo from a local version of Codebase where `git clone` seamlessly signed requests with the private key specified in my Git config and then Codebase verified them with the corresponding public key.

Minor update on Codebase: We can now interact with repos at git.codebase.org as well as via the canister URL. Try it out! git clone @paul/hello-world.git" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">git.codebase.org/@paul/hello-wo… or git clone @paul/hello-world.git" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">…uni-tiaaa-aaaam-qaydq-cai.raw.ic0.app/@paul/hello-wo…

It has been a pleasure hearing the story of @py Young, founder of @CodebaseLabs An exceptional person and one of the most talented and knowledgeable developers in the entire blockchain ecosystem. rss.com/podcasts/lets-… #community #BLOCKCHAIN #SoftwareDeveloper #cryptography

Existing platforms are stuck in the past. Commit to the future at codebase.org

Codebase is a decentralized next-gen platform that works with your favorite clients and existing workflows.

Codebase solves this by incentivizing contributions, rewarding contributors, and empowering communities through tokenized governance.

The communities around them have both a sense of entitlement and a lack of influence. Despite the demand, maintainers can’t justify working for free and are getting burned out. twitter.com/LawrenceHecht/…

Existing platforms have allowed open source software to be exploited by corporations who have turned it into a source of free labor. Even the most popular projects are failing to meet their sponsorship goals. twitter.com/FiloSottile/st…

Introducing: Codebase Codebase is a decentralized alternative to platforms like GitHub. Codebase enables a future where incentives are aligned and software development can be sustainable. A future where software communities are empowered instead of exploited.
