Git is already federated & decentralized

This article responds to proposals like forge-net to decentralize Git using ActivityPub. The author contends Git is already federated and decentralized through its native email-based collaboration tools. It advocates for web forges to integrate and improve upon the existing email workflow, which is standardized, widely supported, and already used by major projects like the Linux kernel, rather than creating a separate, incompatible federation layer.
