I’ve discussed previously how DHT can be made more resilient.

GitTorrent’s bootstrap server has been offline since 2017. To connect to the DHT you need to go through what is known as a bootstrap/introduction server. Instead of querying a peer database on a centralized server, you query the other participants in the DHT to discover which peers host the Git repository you’re interested in. GitTorrent uses an implementation of the BitTorrent mainline Distributed Hash Table ( DHT) to discover others who’re sharing the repository you want to download. Both IPFS implementations are excruciatingly slow to process pushes even though they take place locally on your computer. The IPFS/ IGIS fork came along in 2020 and addressed many of the limitations of the IPFS/ IPLD implementation. IPFS/ IPLD has seen steady development since 2017. HyperGit seems to be the least polished option of the ones discussed in this article.

It also requires some fixes minor fixes to install on a recent version of Node.js. HyperGit similar saw an initial burst of development in 2018 and also appears to have been abandoned.

It requires some tweaks to dependencies and its code to work with today’s version of the Node.js runtime. You’ll notably start out with several security and deprecation warnings if you try to install and run it. GitTorrent saw a burst of development in 2015 by the project seems to have been abandoned by its creator by the beginning of 2016. I’ll start by discussing the status of each project and then move on to discuss how they do things differently. Your repository is deleted when IPFS runs GC. There’s a lot to digest in it and I’ll discuss each item in turn below the table. I’ll kick off with the following comparison table with some key features and limitations. In this article, I’ll explore these differences in-depth and do a comprehensive comparison. Each implementation has made different implementation choices and ended up with systems that appear similar at first glance but have fundamentally different trade-offs and priorities. Similar concepts have popped up around other peer-to-peer protocols including Dat Protocol and IPFS. Instead, it relies on the people who’re using and participating in the project to contribute bandwidth and handle its distribution.
GitTorrent does away with the idea of a central code distribution server. That’s the idea behind GitTorrent, an experimental Git helper and overlay protocol for transferring Git repositories over the popular P2P protocol. What if you could distribute your Git repository using the BitTorrent P2P protocol without the need for a central server? Without having to depend on a commercial business’ hosting-generosity and infrastructure. However, there is also a growing number of peer-to-peer ( P2P) distributed options to consider as well. It’s quick, easy, and free to “throw your code up on GitHub” and call it a day. More commonly, though, repositories are distributed through centralized hub services like BitBucket, GitHub, and GitLab.
You can also host your repository using a regular web server and HTTP infrastructure.
Anyone can run git daemon in a repository to start a Git server. Git is a version control system that is decentralized by design.
