++ [distributed identity](https://jyn.dev/distributed-identity/)
+  by Jynn Nelson on the website of jyn.
+  This article talks about the problem of changing e-mail or changing identity
+  in Git, Mercurial and ATproto (the protocol powering Bluesky),
+  trying to solve one of three problems: changing names and emails after the fact,
+  doing it in a way that's time-based instead of identity-based (new name after some date),
+  and doing it in such a way that the previous name isn't detectable.
+    + The article mentions [Tangled.sh](https://tangled.org), which is
+	  a new social-enabled Git collaboration platform built on top of AT Protocol / ATProto,
+	  only in passing.
+	  It does not address [Radicle](https://radicle.xyz/) or [Grasp](https://gitgrasp.com/)
+	  (other decentralized code hosting and collaboration platforms).

+  Each repository is a Durable Object: a small server with a name

+  (like GitKraken, Sublime Merge, Fork, lazygit), and tools for editing Git repository
+  (`git-filter-repo`, `git rebase` env tricks, `git commit-tree`) without GUI.
+  It never reimplements Git — it shells out to the system `git` CLI

+  so file contents are provably never changed.
+  Written in Rust (and TypeScript) using Tauri application framework,
