TIP: if someone wants to try Radicle, use stable versions instead of the repository, as you will not be able to handshake the seeds that are using the stable protocol version!

Is there a video explaining what this is? Isn't git already decentralized and designed to be run on mail lists?
What are the pros and cons of radicle?

@LucasMW Radicle is a replacement for source forge, so it's a P2P github, rather than a replacement for git.
If you'd rather just run git with a mail list, you can do that.
But if you want a place where you can have issue boards, and github like pull requests. Radicle adds that layer for you, without it being completely centralized.
At the moment, while private repos can be done, it's a bit of a faff, so it's currently best suited for public open source stuff. Though I'm sure over time the private use case will improve.

Radicle git forge — Has anyone here tried out the git forge called Radicle? It's p2p. I've considered trying it out, but haven't yet.
