It's posted here every 2 months, and it's still cryptobros you shouldn't trust.

I came to know about this from another post and so far it seems like an awesome idea

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Looks neat. Cant find any good repos though but ill take a closer look this week.

It looks like it works VERY similar to magnet links. You get a link, you have a node that exists on the network that acts like P2P. Some interesting stuff on it.

For those using Ubuntu/PopOS or any linux/mac distro:

  1. Go to the terminal and copy/paste curl -sSf https://radicle.xyz/install | sh (or remove the sh and check out the script yourself, it looked ok to me).
  2. Add in the new script within your bashrc. This may be different if your not using linux: source ~/.bashrc
  3. You should now have radicle installed. rad --version

I was able to get this working after some new updates to the documentation made it much easier.

You can use rad auth to make an identity. Afterwards you can see the details with rad self

You can run a node here: rade node start. You may have to open up a port in order to get it working. I had to.

Anyways it looks interesting. Im still trying to figure out where to get a list of repos/projects.

I was able to pull down: rad clone rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5

Has anyone used it before? Any specific repos that look interesting to you? This is my first time being actually successful bringing being successful to getting a repo.

I may have found where all the repos are here: https://app.radicle.at/

Or at least one seed.

Oh this is neat: https://www.radworks.garden/ a UI that runs natively on the system.

Im still not sure where to actually go to get the links to the different repos...but I got the original source code going!
