Radicle — mirror host #7 (P2P)

P2P git mirror #7 — push via `rad` CLI, no self-hosted node needed

Radicle

Free peer-to-peer git network. Mirror host #7 in the 9-host weekly cron. Different paradigm — no centralized host, replication via seed nodes.

Free-tier numbers (2026-06-28)

• Free, no signup, no card-on-file
• Public seed node radicle.garden accepts all comers (no self-host needed)
• Browse mirrored repos at https://radicle.network/nodes/<seed>.radicle.garden/<repo-id>

Push method

# In a clone of the source repo
rad init --name "$REPO" --public --default-branch main --no-confirm
