but without central points of failure. The aim is to create continuous distributed software development processes, without having to rely on complex or centralized services. The first implementations will be designed to illustrate these use cases in more detail.

The prefix `nrepo` can be used in front ends that support it, to allow easier copy and paste. An example would be similar to the popular npub system e.g. `nrepo1ris1683fw6n2mvhl5h6dhqd8mqfv3wmxnz4qph83ua4dk4006ezsrt5c24`
Event Structure
@ -73,22 +73,21 @@ Git events over nostr have the following attributes:
**`tags`** MUST contain tag "c" which is equal to the hex-encoded git commit hash. Typically this will be a 40 character sha-1 hash, but git will soon be allowing sha-2 hashes too
MAY contain an entry identifying the previous commit, if one exists, in the form `["e", "<event_id>"]`. Further tags can be developed to capture informative git information such as major/minor versioning. TBD: it will be possible to hint at a recommended git URL to download the repos (e.g. from github), but it is not yet decided whether this would be a tag itself or an additional entry in an existing tag.
MAY contain an entry identifying the previous commit, if one exists, in the form `["e", "<event_id>"]`.
Further tags can be developed in future to capture informative git information such as major/minor versioning.
**`pubkey`** SHOULD be associated with a given repo. This could be communicated out of band, or, for example MAY be included in a file in the root directory of the repo, `nostr.json`
**`content`** empty, reserved for future use
Repo Discovery
===============
It will also be possible signal a recommended repo, just like it is possible to recommended a relay. In this way, a codebase could start on github, move to gitlab, then to an own hosted instance, and finally back to github. All, without any breaks in service. TODO: flesh out this section, perhaps include relay discovery, and bech32 encoding
nostr.json
==========
The design of this NIP is such that each repo will have a public key used to send updates to a relay. That key SHOULD appear in the top level directory of the repo in a file called `nostr.json`
