looks like keybase git was implemented as a git remote helper, just like this. it’s up at github.com/keybase/client/kbfsgit.

my take away from implementing this is that git remote helpers are easy to write and very flexible.

Ive been using this for a while to store personal data but I was getting increasingly concerned it might be shut down.

Im happy that there are some alternatives being developed.

I also use it and although I'm very thankful for the service given that it's free, then I wish it would be faster (push/pull takes 10+ seconds).
