I don't know how new Tangled is, but there is a fairly mature github alternative being built on Nostr:

https://gitworkshop.dev/

The basic idea is that you can put your repository on multiple GRASP-compatible nostr relays (GRASP is a sub-protocol that glues nostr and git together), so even if one server goes down you can transparently sync using the others. This means in effect 100% uptime if you choose reliable servers, as well as cryptographically-signed repositories, activity, issues, etc.

not that mature — its name violates git’s trademark policy

    This is a meaningless fact unless Git actually sues them for infringement. Failure to quickly sue can be seen as tacit approval.

    Do github, gitea, and gitlab not?

      i can't speak to gitea, but github and gitlab are explicitly mentioned as having a license in their policy:

      > Please be aware that GitHub and GitLab are exceptions to this Policy because they are subject to explicit licensing arrangements that pre-date, and thus take precedence, over this Policy.

      From gitea:

      GIT is a trademark of Software Freedom Conservancy and our use of “gitea” is under license.
