Radicle 1.0 released

radicle.xyz

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/21810137 > Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.

PSA: Git exposes timezone metadata

Git records the local timezone when a commit is made [1]. Knowledge of the timezone in which a commit was made could be used as a bit of identifying information to de-anonymize the committer. Setting one's timezone to UTC can help mitigate this issue [2][3] (though, ofc, one must still be wary of time-of-day commit patterns being used to deduce a timezone). ::: spoiler References 1. Git documentation. git-commit. "Date Formats: Git internal format". Accessed: 2024-08-31T07:52Z. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt-Gitinternalformat. > It is `<unix-timestamp> <time-zone-offset>`, where `<unix-timestamp>` is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. `<time-zone-offset>` is a positive or negative offset from UTC. For example CET (which is 1 hour ahead of UTC) is `+0100`. 2. jthill. "How can I ignore committing timezone information in my commit?". Stack Overflow. Published: 2014-05-26T16:57:37Z.

How do you feel about storing binary files with Git?

I think it's generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there's still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me. So what's your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

How has Git changed the way you think about version control?

Coming from CVS and ClearCase it took me some time to adopt to Git. The fact that it was distributed was confusing at first, for example, because I thought that would cause chaos. But the way we used it was actually not "that distributed". But once I understood how it worked, not doing DVCS was "the wrong way" immediately.

What were your misconceptions about Git when you first started?

I used CVS and ClearCase before moving into Git, and it took me some time to adjust to the fact that the cost of branching in Git is much much less than ClearCase. And getting into the "distributed" mindset didn't happen overnight.
