Sovereign Developer Manifesto
Not Your Git,
Not Your Code.
Just like "Not your keys, not your coins." If your code lives exclusively on a corporate cloud platform, you don’t own it. You are simply renting permission until an algorithm, TOS update, or geopolitical sanction decides otherwise.

⚠️ The Centralized Trap
- ✕ Arbitrary Deplatforming: One automated flag or billing dispute can lock your entire team out of years of work.
- ✕ Unconsented AI Training: Your private code, intellectual property, and internal secrets ingested to train closed models.
- ✕ Corporate Chokepoints: Monopolies controlling access to the open-source software supply chain.
- ✕ No True Deletion: What you delete from a megacorp's cloud rarely actually disappears.
⚡ The Sovereign Path
- ✓ Physical Custody: Repositories reside on your own NVMe SSD inside your physical home.
- ✓ No Manual Port Forwarding: Publish a website through an outbound tunnel without configuring router port forwarding.
- ✓ Cryptographic Autonomy: Git was built from day one to be distributed, decentralized, and peer-to-peer.
- ✓ Censorship Resistant: No terms of service updates can revoke your access to your own machine.
"Git was created by Linus Torvalds specifically so no single company could control Linux development. It is time we remember why distributed version control was invented."
