go-git-nostr

Send and receive git patches over nostr.

Install

Download latest binaries from the releases page. https://github.com/npub1zenn0/go-git-nostr/releases

$ # You'll have to fix the version
$ VERSION=v0.0.0 wget https://github.com/npub1zenn0/go-git-nostr/releases/download/$VERSION/git-{send,show}-nostr-$VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf <file>.tar.gz

Note that there are two binaries in the release: git-send-nostr, and git-show-nostr. You'll want both, but they are not in the same zip.

$ git config --global nostr.relays "wss://nos.lol wss://relay.damus.io" # can have multiple, split by space
$ git config --global nostr.secretkey <hex_key>

Usage

If you then have the binaries in your $PATH, you can then use them like so.

$ git config nostr.hashtag my-repo-name
$ git show-nostr -h
$ # outputs all patches for project "nostr-git-cli".
$ git show-nostr -t nostr-git-cli -r wss://nos.lol # override relays to just wss://nos.lol

$ git format-patch HEAD~ # This will show you what you're about to send as patch.

$ # Dry run send a new patch.
$ git send-nostr --dry-run HEAD~ -t nostr-git-cli -r wss://nos.lol -r wss://example.com

$ # Apply a specific patch.
$ git show-nostr -e "<nevent...>" -t nostr-git-cli -r wss://nos.lol | git am

$ # From specific user
$ git show-nostr -p "<nprofile|npub...>" -t nostr-git-cli -r wss://nos.lol | git am
