    Author of GitSocial here. It is now possible to break most hosting dependencies by using such tools as Walgit or GitSocial to store all collaboration data in git itself and pushing it all to an S3-compatible bucket. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitsocial.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitsocial.org&#x2F; is hosted on an R2 bucket. Cross-forge, cross-bucket collaboration is built in to it, further decentralizing hosting. Happy to answer any questions!

      What do you think about CloudFlare Artefacts?

        Artifacts is a vendor lock-in, as you can&#x27;t easily migrate. Much better alternative would be git being able to pull and push to object storage natively.

            GitSocial needs just git and object store, nothing else.
