Keybase, outside of the distributed bit along with the question of their future, provides zero-knowledge git repositories (they’ve literally got no idea what is in your repositories, including metadata).

I doubt any of Keybase's features from flailing around to see what will stick will last much longer now that they've been bought by Zoom.

It's on life-support, yes.

Incredibly sad, it did IM very well and on top of it all, it had a bunch of very innovative features. And no, nothing really competes with it.

https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent/ was building a p2p git.

https://github.com/forgefed/forgefed is a github alike that is federated via ActivityPub. this distributes content to a bunch of servers, but it is not cryptographic, not meant to be censorship-resistant. i think this could be layered in to ActivityPub, particularly by making use of Signed HTTP Exchanges to verify content origin, & then you'd still need a way to find alive hosts.

IMO, Git+blockchain is a pretty good match on paper.

Git was blockchain before blockchain was cool.
