Radicle: Sovereign {code forge} built on Git

Love to see it. Unlike tangled.org this is local-first and has a solid story around private repos. I’m bullish on distributed forges in general, but I’m all for experimentation in figuring out exactly what that looks like.

I noticed that they moved to a different domain last month: https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move

.xyz and similar domains are often blocked by ISPs due to higher than usual rates of spam from domains using that TLD.

Radicle is really underrated, especially when working with agents. I find it a joy to use for my agentic workflows.

If there's purely an agentic forge one day, it's likely going to be a distributed one, with cryptographic identities and signed artifacts by default.

What makes it a joy to use with agents?

The more I have been using git and building my own tooling and services around it for usage, I have figured out that something like radicle feels like the right/better solution, definitely better than what github is atm.

There are rough edges and the seeding thing is a bit mehhh. And honestly there are a bunch of things I would do differently but I like the spirit of things.

Not sure where the authors of the project stand, but it's fun to see them make progress.

How well does it hold up under load? What are the CI and PR stories?

Their CI take is early but promising: https://radicle-ci.liw.fi/

I like this idea a lot! I need to find people to try it with, though, which is not so easy with GH being so popular :-(

Some nitpicks:

* What is with the forced serif font on the website?

* Does this support other version control systems? Like mercurial, SVN, pijul, etc.?

AD: The website is currently being redesigned, I suspect we'll have it up in the next few weeks.

No it doesn't currently support other VCS's but we have planned for that possibility in future!
