How Radicle Works Under the Hood

Radicle shows a lot of promise. As far as I understand it, every participant runs a local radicle node in true peer-to-peer fashion. Every node can seed git repositories which then get replicated on the network. From the perspective of a git command line user, radicle acts as a git-remote that is running on your local machine. The repositories that you push to are then pulled by any other radicle nodes who want a copy. These other nodes will then also seed your repository.

I know that there is also a web-frontend (kinda like GitHub) for radicle: https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/seed.radicle.xyz/rad:z3gqcJUoA.... But I haven't seen a guide how to set that web frontend up locally.

There's a manual way to run the UI locally for now: https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/ash.radicle.garden/rad:z4V1sjr...

We'll be also working on packaging the js bundle so that it can be distributed and served locally without setting up a dev environment in the future.

One interesting thing you can do is you can actually point the hosted web interface to your local node, as long as you're running rad-httpd.
