repo_blob and repo_readme resolved the blob through radicle-surf, which also walks history to find the last commit that touched the path. libgit2 ignores the commit-graph and diffs every commit, so opening a file last changed long ago took a long time and varied by how far back the file changed, not by its size. Resolve the content with a direct tree lookup and the last commit via `git rev-list -1`, falling back to the libgit2 walk when git is unavailable.
Radicle Desktop
This desktop application lets you interact with Radicle, a peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack.
Installation
See radicle.dev/desktop#install.
From source
Prerequisites:
- Node.js (24 or higher) and npm
- Rust toolchain (1.77 or higher)
- Tauri system dependencies
On Windows, NPM's script shell must be set to a POSIX compatible shell such as Git Bash:
npm config set script-shell "C:\\Program Files\\git\\bin\\bash.exe"
Run the following commands to build the desktop app locally:
git clone https://seed.radicle.dev/z4D5UCArafTzTQpDZNQRuqswh3ury.git radicle-desktop
cd radicle-desktop
npm install
npm run tauri build
Then run one of the builds that the script outputs at the end.
Development
To start the app in development mode with hot reload:
npm run dev
Releasing
Releases are driven by an interactive, phased script. Start one with:
scripts/release --phase prep --version X.Y.Z
Each phase does its mechanical work, then prints the manual tasks for its gate
and the exact flag to resume with. List the phases and see the configuration
with scripts/release --list and scripts/release --help.
