      What is git repo federation? Why will this help?

      I thought git is a very decentralized technology?

        Well, Git is still centralized. Typically there’s only one main location where work on a project happens - a Git forge like GitHub, or in the simplest scenario just an SSH server.

        Federation will help because it will allow working on a project in one forge from another forge. You could e.g. create a pull request on your own self-hosted forge (e.g. Forgejo instance) and then submit that pull request on another forge that’s hosted somewhere else. GitHub taking down a repo wouldn’t be as annoying, since people would still have the main sources of their pull requests in their own forges. And GitHub wouldn’t be able to remove their fork for whatever reason.
