I've just found the project. And it seems very interesting take. I am adding a link to their blog entry discussion on a system to combat LLMs abuse via a web of trust.

From their site:

We envision a place where developers have ownership of their code, communities can freely self-govern and most importantly, coding can be social and fun again.

AT Protocol enables federated code-collaboration. Submit pull-requests or bug-reports to any repository hosted on any server.

The big added benefit is that its federated using the AT protocol. So while you join a local instance (or, knot), or even set one up yourself, you still get all the benefits that GitHub currently provides around making coding social and discoverable, unlike other alternatives like forgejo. So it’s not doing anything to git itself, but rather the layer on top, the forge

Why at proto, 'tho? gitea was trying to implement Activitypub already a while ago.

Forgejo is leading the charge on that. Version 16.0 is going to have some early bits of federation functionality.

probably the firehose is easier to work with

But it also make it very hard to deploy a self hosted version !

By design, too.

[–] johnydoe666@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

I’m not sure exactly. It could be related to how the AT protocol also takes account information into federation, but I’m just speculating here

yeah but git already had those features (well, not discoverability i guess) in its email functionality, it just needs a better ux.

I guess this could be a cool solution to having to make several usernames on different gitlab instances.

Still, I'm not sure if this is really worth it: if I want to self host I'll just self host a git repository and that'll be incredibly easy to setup.

The main advantage of GitHub is that it's completely free and I don't have to bother about self hosting it and maintaining the software.

I do see some advantage, but I'm not sure it compensates the added maintainance work.
