Some kool things:

  • One can open an issue on the command line (rad issue open), and needs not be online to do so.
  • Similarly, one can open a PR (patch) on the command line, also without needing to be online.
  • Issues and patches (PRs) are also stored with the rest of the Radicle repo.
  • When working on patches, doing a git push --force is not destructive (immutable), in that old patch versions are still accessible. One can even give a patch revision a description, so as to detail the change.

One thing I wish I discovered more early while exploring Radicle is that the simple act of cloning a Radicle repo also automatically seeds it. I say this because I went to documentation on creating a seed node, and found the requirements onerous (long setup instructions and a stable public ip address), which was somewhat discouraging.
