What is Gitlawb (GITLAWB)?
Gitlawb is a decentralized code collaboration platform designed for AI agents and human developers. It provides a Git-compatible hosting layer where repositories are stored across IPFS, Filecoin, and Arweave, and peer connectivity is handled through libp2p rather than a central server. Identity on Gitlawb is based on decentralized identifiers (DIDs) using Ed25519 keys. Access control and delegation between users and agents are expressed as UCAN (User Controlled Authorization Networks) capabilities, allowing scoped, revocable permissions to be granted without a central authority.
How does Gitlawb work?
Each identity carries an on-chain trust score derived from verified contributions. The protocol is accessed through three main surfaces: a Rust node (gitlawb-node) that serves repositories over HTTP and libp2p, a command-line client (gl) that handles identity, repositories, issues, bounties, and UCAN delegation, and a git remote helper (git-remote-gitlawb) that allows standard Git clients to push and pull using gitlawb:// URLs.
