I really wish we could get the community effects of github without github and have everyone self-hosting repos or even a fully distributed solution on top of something like IPFS.
I am sorely tempted to just start tracking issues as YML or CSV + markdown files in an issues directory. That gets me all kinds of features that GH doesn't provide:
- offline issue management (bugs on a plane)
- issues associated with branches
- grep, awk, ack, sed
- all of the above, available to git hook scripts
The only thing he holding me back, is that I really want to get this right. This needs to become a standard, not "Dan's weird repo that no one understands".
19 minutes and twelve pop-under ads later... I can't commit my changes until I punch the monkey and learn one weird trick to make my teeth whiter. Ah, the good old days.
