Joe| Software developer |
We have a combined team experience of 15+ years of experience in tech.
Project Description:
This project aims to create a decentralized Git repository system using the Sia network for data storage. This project seeks to provide an alternative to centralized Git hosting services by leveraging Sia’s decentralized storage solutions.
The primary focus of DGoS (Decentralized Git on Sia) will be:
-
Decentralized Storage: Store Git repository data (commits, branches, objects) on Sia, ensuring data integrity and availability.
-
Git Operations: Implement all common Git operations (clone, push, pull, etc.) in a way that interacts with Sia’s storage system.
-
User Interface: Develop a user-friendly interface for managing repositories, possibly integrating with existing tools or creating new ones.
We aim to provide:
-
Basic integration of Git with Sia for storing small repositories.
-
A proof-of-concept backend service using Go for Git operations.
-
Improve UI/UX for both web and CLI users.
-
Ensure data encryption and user authentication for enhanced security.
