Ok, I have an idea and I want your help convincing my boss I should work on it.
Federated git updates. Let's distribute releases and relevant updates via Activity Pub (Mastodon)
Drop your email and if we get enough I get to make this!

@techsquidtv This Idea has been proposed some time ago and the project started to do it... it was stalled last I checked and made no progress.. but federated git would be very cool!
@techsquidtv Oh that would be pretty sweet.. I think its a lower priority than getting git itself to federate.. but i could see it as a very nice feature on a federated git, and of course useful on regular git as you point out.
@freemo I've seen others federate git itself and while that is awesome, it's a bit bigger than the issue I want to tackle. I am looking to connect your existing git repo to an activity pub feed. This would mean connecting GitHub, BitBucket, Gitlab, etc, and being able to follow the repo as an account on Mastodon. Mostly relying on webhooks for automation.
