IrysGit & GitHirysDecentralized Git Ecosystem for Web3

What is the IrysGit Ecosystem? ​

The IrysGit ecosystem consists of two complementary projects that provide a complete decentralized alternative to traditional Git and GitHub:

🔧 IrysGit - The Git Alternative ​

IrysGit is a revolutionary CLI tool that serves as a decentralized alternative to Git. Built on top of Irys (Arweave-based), it provides permanent, censorship-resistant storage for your code repositories with familiar Git-like commands.

🌐 GitHirys - The GitHub Alternative ​

GitHirys is a modern web platform that serves as a decentralized alternative to GitHub. Built with Next.js, it provides an intuitive web interface for repository exploration, management, and collaboration, all powered by the same Irys network.

How They Work Together ​

The two projects are designed to work in perfect harmony:

1. Development Workflow: Use IrysGit CLI for day-to-day development tasks
2. Repository Management: Use GitHirys web platform for repository exploration and collaboration
3. Unified Authentication: Both platforms use the same Solana wallet for seamless integration
4. Shared Storage: All data is stored on the same Irys network, ensuring consistency

Key Benefits ​

• Complete Decentralization: No central authority controls your code or repositories
• Permanent Storage: Your repositories are stored forever on Arweave through Irys
• Familiar Experience: Git-like CLI commands and GitHub-like web interface
• Secure: Encrypted private key storage and built-in security measures
• Collaborative: Easy contributor management and permissions across both platforms
• Cost Effective: Mutable uploads reduce storage costs while maintaining permanence

Quick Example ​

Using IrysGit CLI: ​

# Install globally
npm install -g irys-git

# Login with your Solana wallet
igit login

# Initialize a repository
igit init MyProject

# Push your code
igit push

# Clone from anywhere
igit clone githirys.xyz/your-wallet/MyProject

Using GitHirys Web Platform: ​

1. Visit the GitHirys web platform
2. Connect your Solana wallet
3. Explore your repositories with modern UI
4. Manage collaborators and permissions
5. Copy clone commands for CLI usage
