Took a look and this is really cool. Will definitely keep this is mind. One major difference and area I'm focused on in this project is hosting. I would argue that there are currently much better VCS options for projects than Git (like yours and Fossil) but the reason these haven't taken off is that Github and Gitlab offer unmatched hosting and collaboration tools for these projects. Would be curious to know your thoughts/approach to this!

My approach to hosting with Got has been to make it easy and secure for users to host from any machine.

INET256 solves that problem nicely. If you have access to an INET256 network, then all you have to do is swap addresses and two Got instances can communicate.

Also, end-to-end encryption is table stakes. Any data that leaves the user needs to be encrypted in transit, and if it hangs around away from the user, at rest.
