Adds Git LFS support for repositories, with large file content stored on each contributor's own local IPFS node instead of a seed-hosted server: - `rad lfs init`: one-time setup (transfer-agent config, pre-commit hook, notes-ref push/fetch refspecs, IPFS daemon reachability check). - `refs/notes/rad-lfs` carries the oid -> CID mapping, replicating with the repository via Radicle's existing ref sync (verified against `references_of` in crates/radicle/src/storage/git.rs: every ref is replicated except refs/tmp/heads/*, so no protocol changes were needed). - `rad seed`/`rad unseed` now pin/unpin a repo's known LFS objects in IPFS, mirroring Radicle's existing "seeding = keep a full copy" model, and warning (not failing) if no local IPFS daemon is reachable. The actual byte transfer is handled by a separate binary, rad-lfs-transfer (added here as a submodule), which implements the Git LFS custom-transfer- agent protocol against a local IPFS daemon. See LFS-IPFS.md for the full design and setup instructions. Building and using `rad` for anything other than `rad lfs` requires no IPFS dependency at all; `rad lfs init` checks for a local daemon upfront and fails with an actionable message rather than proceeding silently. |

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 implementation 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.
See the Radicle home page for general information, and the Zulip chat to talk to the project.
See the Protocol Guide for an in-depth description of how Radicle works.
Installation
Requirements
- Linux or Unix based operating system.

cargo install --force --locked --root ~/.radicle \
--git https://seed.radicle.dev/z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5.git \
crates/radicle-cli crates/radicle-node crates/radicle-remote-helper
Running
Systemd unit files are provided for the node under the /systemd folder.
They can be used as a starting point for further customization.
For running in debug mode, see HACKING.md.
