Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack

Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a full implementation of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).

Radicle is a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to centralized code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.

See the Protocol Guide for an in-depth description of how Radicle works.

For more information about installing and running Radicle, how to contribute, and licensing, please refer to the main README.md of the repository.

Please note that GitHub is not the forge that Radicle is being developed with. Radicle is developed using Radicle. Therefore, issues cannot be created on GitHub, but only via Radicle directly. However, pull requests are still accepted.
