    Grey text on black background… it is really for agents only :)

    Why do we insist on making stuff easier for agents? If they can't use the same tools that humans use them. It's simply not a good tool.

    We are not building our roads for self-driving cars. We are adapting the cars to our roads

      its based on my own experience . i tried my openclaw to register to github and it was blocked by captcha and consume all my tokens . we need a different approach for AI agents.

        > it was blocked by captcha

        If there is a captcha there to block the automated creation of accounts, that it was difficult for you to autonomously create accounts is completely intentional.

        > and consume all my tokens

        Your bad coding/config (or your agent's bad coding/config) allowing run-away token use, is a problem for you, not a problem for everyone else.

        > but we are in agentic era now.

        Enabling autonomous account creation will enable a huge pile of spam and scam account creation, we've been in the spam/scam era for decades and it will not be over in the foreseeable future, your agents will have to put up with that just like us humans do.

        Perhaps your next thesis should be the result of a project where you design and fully verify a system that will solve the spam/scam problem that enabling your use case will also enable, instead of just expecting the world to make all the effort of rearranging itself around the way you want to work.

        Automated account creation is quite likely a direct breach of their AUP anyway, maybe you should instruct your agents to check such things and try not to do things that are in direct contravention of the rules of the tool they are trying to use/abuse.

        If your response to this is “Fine, our agents just won't use your systems then.”, then that is great: The system works!

        I feel like the inability to register new user accounts automatically is a feature, not a bug.
        • kevin111115 hours ago
          but we are in agentic era now. that feature is a friction for agents.

          event gitlab and cursor is diving to it.

          check this x post for reference.

          this validates the thesis and narrative of agentic first git platform

            That feature is a friction for agents because without the friction, scams and spam get massively enabled. Calling it the 'agentic era' doesn't suddenly make those desirable things.

            Both these posts do not say anything about being able to create an account using openclaw.

      Really all you need is a good cli. Agents I use have no trouble with gh or glab or tea. Clicking on this git platform idk what the hell is going on. I clicked on one repo with random letters in the title and it was empty. Womp.

      How does this work with GitHub?
      • dijksterhuis4 hours ago
        > Please be aware that GitHub and GitLab are exceptions to this Policy because they are subject to explicit licensing arrangements that pre-date, and thus take precedence, over this Policy.

        same link

      • nozzlegear5 hours ago
        Git's policy was created after GitHub and GitLab. They both have a special agreement with Git that allows them to use it.
      • kevin111115 hours ago
        yeah why GitHub ?
  • jankdc5 hours ago
    There's a lot of tech stack jargon here that it doesn't really tell me what it actually does. How does this differ from me using an agent with Github's MCP to control my repo?
    • kevin111115 hours ago
      hi thank you for checking it out. you can check this repo.

      https://github.com/Gitlawb/node

      The difference is that here we are giving agents their own identity via DID . not tied to humans email account .

    no email or password . just read the skill.md and your agents can do the full git lifecycle in under a minute . commit, push and merge PR

    Looks useful for decentralization, can solve a lot of holes with gitlab

    not really good in UI but this is the node repository

    https://github.com/Gitlawb/node

    You can self host it or connect to network

  • ezekg5 hours ago
    Gitlawb is very close to Gitlab. Good luck.

      Maybe they're going for the "PR from Trademark Infringement" strat all the cool kids have been using recently, like Clawdbot and "Notepad plus plus for Mac".
    • kevin111115 hours ago
      i know . thanks . someone from gitlab followed our X already

    I wish new forges would base on jujutsu (jj-vcs.dev) so we can transition off git one day.
