It’s 2025 and –somehow!– the most proliferated distributed file-tree database & version control system that we have (which is git) is used by everyone in a completely non-distributed manner!

How’s that possible? GitHub and similar platforms have eased the communication, review and code sharing so much that they are now essentially a “default” social media for doing all this. Not great.

So here I have a few tools to do complex git-related communication tasks either locally or over federated media.

• pull requests via mastodon: patchodon for sending git-format-patch over mastodon (gitlab source, PyPI, local mirror)
• issues: gisu (WIP, not public)
• merging helper: werge for merging annoying word-sized line-conflicting whitespace-messing changesets (github, local mirror)
