Tangled is a decentralized code hosting and collaboration
10

platform. Every component of Tangled is open-source and
11

self-hostable. [tangled.org](https://tangled.org) also
12

provides hosting and CI services that are free to use.

There are several models for decentralized code
15
-
collaboration platforms, ranging from ActivityPub’s
16
-
(Forgejo) federated model, to Radicle’s entirely P2P model.

Our approach attempts to be the best of both worlds by
18

adopting the AT Protocol—a protocol for building decentralized

social applications with a central identity

Our approach to this is the idea of “knots”. Knots are
22
-
lightweight, headless servers that enable users to host Git
23
-
repositories with ease. Knots are designed for either single
24
-
or multi-tenant use which is perfect for self-hosting on a
25
-
Raspberry Pi at home, or larger “community” servers. By
26
-
default, Tangled provides managed knots where you can host
27
-
your repositories for free.

The appview at tangled.org acts as a consolidated "view"

into the whole network, allowing users to access, clone and

contribute to repositories hosted across different knots

seamlessly.
