Radicle

Radicle is a code collaboration tool that runs on top of Git without a central hosting company. Repositories are shared between peers across a network, and each user keeps control of their own data.

Radicle stores repositories in Git and copies them between peers. Issues, discussions and code reviews are kept as Git objects, so they travel with the repository. Users can run their own node, and their work stays available locally even without an internet connection. A command line tool, a web interface and a terminal interface all work with the same node.

• Repositories copied across peers
• Signed records for social data such as issues
• Issues and code review stored as Git objects
• Works offline with local copies
• Run your own node instead of a hosting account

Radicle suits developers who want control over where their code lives, and open source groups that prefer not to depend on one company. It is also useful for people who work in places with limited or unreliable connectivity.

The project describes itself as open source, and the site does not list a paid plan. The site says the stack works on Linux, macOS and BSD variants. Because there is no central host, teams need to plan how their nodes stay online and backed up.
