Peer-to-peer code collaboration with Radicle
09-15, 10:45–11:25 (Europe/Berlin), Loft - Workshop 0

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll learn how to use the Radicle stack to collaborate on a code project. We’ll run our own nodes, connect to peers, and grow a virtual garden together.


Radicle is a local-first, peer-to-peer network for code collaboration, built on top of Git. It enables users to run their own nodes, ensuring censorship-resistant code collaboration and fostering a resilient network without reliance on third-parties.

Radicle functions as a protocol where each user on the network runs identical software, known as the Radicle Stack. This stack primarily consists of a command line interface and a networked service called the Radicle Node.

Users can also opt to run the Radicle Web client and HTTP daemon, providing a familiar web-based experience for enhanced accessibility and convenience.

In this workshop we will explore Radicle's code collaboration workflow by:
- running our own Radicle Node
- using the Radicle Web client & Radicle CLI
- connecting to a community seed node

Requirements:
- Device running Linux or MacOS
