Grasp introduces a decentralized protocol for Git that eliminates the need for centralized accounts and platforms. It enables seamless code publishing, patch sharing, and issue management through a simple CLI tool called 'nak', while maintaining full interoperability between personal and third-party servers. The protocol supports custom moderation and built-in issue tracking using signed messages.
Background
Git has traditionally relied on centralized platforms like GitHub and GitLab for collaboration, which require accounts and centralized infrastructure. Decentralized alternatives have been emerging to provide more open and permissionless code collaboration.
