Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing #ActivityPub! 🙌 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247 The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send a merge request to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’. Smart move by #GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer. @fediversenews@venera.social #fediverse #GitHub #git

    The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send a merge request to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git

    In the most expansive version of this vision, anyone running an AP-enabled git instance (with one or more repos) can send MRs to another instance’s repo, without having to sign up there.

      Thanks :) So since Gitlab can be self hosted there wasn’t a way to make PRs from one instance to another?

        Yeah, each server was separate but this helps their users connect between them without signing up. Also apparently Gitea is adding similar support
