To improve the reliability and flexibility of the protocol, we introduce multiplexing over peer connections. This involves a new `Frame` type that carries a stream-id and payload. Three stream types are made available: 1. Control 2. Gossip 3. Git This change brings the following improvements: * Removed need to queue fetch requests * Removed need to queue gossip messages * Removed need for `Fetch` and `FetchOk` messages * Service doesn't need to know about inbound fetches * Removed one round-trip for fetch negotiation * Removed special `done` git packet * Removed session logic and state around Git/Fetch protocols * Removed code around upgrading/downgrading transport * Worker in responder mode is able to process any number of fetches * Connections support any number of concurrent fetches We had to introduce a few extra things however to make it all work: * A `VarInt` type for variable-length integers, since we want the frames to be lightweight. * A custom "tunnel" implementation, since we couldn't use the existing one anymore. Overall the change removes more complexity than it adds, while improving the protocol along the way.

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack
Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
full implemention of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).
Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.
Installation
Requirements
- Linux or Unix based operating system.
- Git 2.34 or later
- OpenSSH 9.1 or later with
ssh-agent
