### Referring to radicle.xyz in Code
While <https://radicle.xyz> is the main website of the project, and also the domain
associated with COBs implemented in this repo, we strive to write code that is as
independent as reasonably possible from this particular domain name. For example, it
should not be used for default configuration values, or if it is, there should be a
way to override.
This makes it easier to re-package Radicle for distribution under a different domain
or fork it altogether. It also tends to produce better, more flexible, code.
In tests, instead use names that are compliant with RFC 2606, e.g.
"radicle.example.com".
Note that as of 2025-08, there are still a few mentions of "radicle.xyz" in the
codebase (mostly tests or user hints, fallback for configuration), and some of them
are not easy to remove. However, this is in no way a justification to add more
references.
