Yes, this is a great idea!  This was also brought up by @fuzzy during the Beyond Bitcoin hangout this past Friday.  I can't remember if this was brought up during the "main" hangout or during the after party but, you all should take a listen to it once he posts it.  There was some great info to share!

And this still works for private repos? i.e. Password or Private Key protected

Great stuff .. now to incorporate an automated bounty escrow for pull requests :)

THIS! Is amazing. Im going to play around on this.

hey guys please vote for my blog! :)

I was there listening to the chat live as well. Really amazing how quickly people are making progress here!

This is great! I took the liberty to translating into spanish. I make a reference to the original post. https://steemit.com/es/@fran2k/git-steem-github-descentralizado-usando-steem-by-someguy123

yeah I think that someone who was talking about a github on steem was @noisy

Very cool. I like this and will share with my team at GitBetter.

Good work man, it would be great to build github fully on Steem with each commit can be upvoted, rewarded, etc.

Very nice. This is a lot like GitGuild (https://github.com/gitguild/gitguild)

Really awesome idea, hope this can be built into a full fledge github alternative.

Wow, this is amazing! Thanks for the value add to Steem!

Wow, great job! You already had my witness vote ;)

@someguy123

You are the second person I choose to vote as a witness. I think you are one of the few that is worthy to be one.

So... files are hosted in the blockchain?
**[EDIT]**
from what I am seeing... this only stores links to already existing repositories? Right?... So TBH, it is ok.. but not what most people will think it is :(

Github is not just a fronted, but also server provider for "main" repository.

Sweet, love it.

Hey there someguy!

> "Last night during the talk with @ned, someone mentioned "what about github via STEEM?"

That guy was me! I would love to invite you to join the hangout that @dantheman credits for having a big role in steems creation: our weekly #beyondbitcoin hangouts.  It is likely because of our long history working with the technological genius who created steemit that I have the insights I have, and I can assure you our hangouts can be a place of pure gold (if you like the github idea I have plenty more where that came from).  If you  would like to join our family, you can RSVP here to get coverage of your work: https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@officialfuzzy/guest-signups-beyond-bitcoin-hangout-175-9-30-16-rsvp-to-friday-s-hangout-get-a-cut-in-our-hangout

Now with that said.  I love the idea.  I do, however, have a slight concern with not having this as its own separate chain.  My primary issue is that while steem can easily (as in for much less of a cost than spinning up a new chain) add translation services directly to steemit and other front ends, it is not so easy for something like github.
If there are going to be 1000 clones, I believe we want to start with something like github steemit (which I call Gitit) and have an initial phase where moving your github repos to the new chain rewards you with the native currency.  This process would replace mining and could be used to distribute 60-70% of the tokens to ensure the people curating **are coders**.  Though this might not be foolproof I am sure there are ways to mitigate issues.  The point though is: find a way to ensure distribution to people who are guaranteed coders who can use it.

The problem with the solution being built on top of steem is that the vast majority of people who do upvote content on here cannot read code and those who can likely do not have the time to do so (because those with lots of power in steemit are also generally devs).  
Now please dont take this as me putting down your work.  In fact I love that you were thinking about this after I gave everyone my idea openly.  And also glad you built what you built, but this genuinely seems like a chain that should be cloned as opposed to being directly on the steem blockchain.  Like I said when talking to ned and you guys, I am not against multiple chains...I just think they should have good reasons for being separate chains with use cases that expand our toolkit and the toolkits of everyone wanting to build Graphene based chains.  

Feel free to let me know what you think or if you disagree, and remember I am always holding friday hangouts in the case you are interested in joining and discussing :)

Nicely done man, I am now listing steemstars in my github repos through this tool.

This is a great piece and happy to upvote. Posted a piece earlier about STEEMIT you might be interested to see. Following and looking forward to reading more of your posts. Catch us also on Twitter [Twitter✔](https://twitter.com/StephenPKendal). Cheers. Stephen

may i please ask how you successful put a photo similar to gif in your post. and pls forgive me for this question. at this point though i having to gradually get uphill. i am still novice with terms on steemit. thus after fully learning how to upload videos or embed video link. i will learn how to use the new help you given steemit

Good job!

Solid post. I was about to start a similair discussion. It's surprising how much uneducated investors the crypto space has. You still see people invest in this shady and scammy coins.  I was researching a way to do better investment analysis on the current cryptos. Besides coinmarketcap.com there is:  https://www.coincheckup.com This site did all the research for you. It's truly amazing.
