comment by jjgreen · 2023-01-23 · in Ask HN: What's the status of Keybase after Zoom acquisition?

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.

Yes, this has always been the case. The root CA is embedded in the Keybase client: https://github.com/keybase/client/blob/master/go/libkb/ca.go This provides a way to add some protection against a polluted trusted CA store.
