- Radicle is a peer-to-peer, open-source code collaboration stack built on Git, providing a decentralized alternative to centralized platforms.
- It ensures user sovereignty with full data control, using cryptographic identities, Git for data storage, and a gossip protocol for metadata exchange.
- Features include local-first functionality for offline access, Collaborative Objects (COBs) for social features like issues and reviews, and a modular design supporting CLI, web, and TUI clients.
- Installation is via a shell script for Linux, macOS, and BSD, with a graphical Radicle Desktop client available for collaborative work.
- The project is under MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses, encourages community contributions, and provides updates through social media and a community Zulip channel.
