-# This snap will build kubo from source.

-description: |
-  IPFS combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web.
-  It is like a single bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides
-  an interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in. You
-  can also mount the world at /ipfs.
