Yes, this is the official home ;-) + +Globalist is an attempt to ease the distribution of git repos, away from central points of failure. + +Globalist stands for "Global List" and aims at replacing any EtherPads of more than transient value. + +Globalist is also meant to evolve into an experimental distributed asynchronous wiki facility. + +Nodes can come and go, and network topology only depends on the peers entries in the nodes' config files. Changes that are merged by one's peers propagate by diffusion. + +## Usage + +Make a new directory and put this in the file ./repo.cfg (when creating a new repository instead of cloning from a peer, the list or indeed the repo.cfg file can remain empty) + +``` +[network] +peers = <comma-separated list of onion domain names, with or without the suffix .onion> +``` + +For a public repository, no authentication is needed (option -X). In case authentication is used, prepend the secret as follows: somebody:secret@peeroniondomainname.onion + +For each shared repo, Globalist will create one .onion service. + +## To do + +set default commit messages +support signed commits +push? |
