I don't know how new Tangled is, but there is a fairly mature github alternative being built on Nostr:

https://gitworkshop.dev/

The basic idea is that you can put your repository on multiple GRASP-compatible nostr relays (GRASP is a sub-protocol that glues nostr and git together), so even if one server goes down you can transparently sync using the others. This means in effect 100% uptime if you choose reliable servers, as well as cryptographically-signed repositories, activity, issues, etc.

not that mature — its name violates git’s trademark policy

Correct me if I'm wrong but the project you're referring to appears to be closed source.

i am unable to access any repository on that website. for some, it complains that ssh or https URLs are not supported by my browser? and for others its just loading indefinitely with `Failed to load file tree`. maybe its not fairly mature.
