Long term, hosting git on SUI/walrus will create real decentralized git repos. + +As a nice bonus, when using walrus/sui, those, how use the git-annex default package, could pay a small fee to support the project. This would allow a steady income long term for the project. + +Since walrus is a storage backend and only guarantees that objects are available for epochs the underlying Storage object is reserved for (you buy a contingent ob blob storage for a duration of time). +This Storage object needs to be extended / managed. +The whole infrastructure, allow to build a decentralized annex cloud storage, where the user actually own his data and only storage payment etc is automated. Notifications etc. + + +### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) + +I love git annex, works like a charm. Using it for 5+ years
