in IRC, rogueism asked:

> Is there a spec for the git-like system on IPFS?

I answered:

not quite yet. there’s two paths:

- (1) is importing/wrapping actual git. there’s a few approaches to this, whyrusleeping made a git-http-clonable rehost [GitHub - whyrusleeping/git-ipfs-rehost: A script to rehost your git repos in ipfs](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/git-ipfs-rehost) – cryptix made an _actual git remote_ plugin [GitHub - cryptix/git-remote-ipfs: git transport helper for ipfs](https://github.com/cryptix/git-remote-ipfs)
- (2) there’s adding commits to ipfs. this has been meaning to happen for a while, but i wanted to get identity right first. that still hasnt happened, but we can now count on identity being objects, so we can probably implement [Versioning: Commit + Repo Datastructures · Issue #23 · ipfs/notes · GitHub](https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/23) very soon
