bzr 2.1.0b1

Friendly distributed version control system

Bazaar (bzr) is a decentralized revision control system, designed to be easy for developers and end users alike. Bazaar is part of the GNU project to develop a complete free operating system.

To install Bazaar, follow the instructions given at http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download. Ready-to-install packages are available for most popular operating systems or you can install from source.

To learn how to use Bazaar, see the official documentation at:

Bazaar is written in Python, and is sponsored by Canonical Limited, the founders of Ubuntu and Launchpad. Bazaar is Free Software, and is released under the GNU General Public License.

Bazaar highlights

Bazaar directly supports both central version control (like cvs/svn) and distributed version control (like git/hg). Developers can organize their workspace in whichever way they want on a per project basis including:

  • checkouts (like svn)
  • feature branches (like hg)
  • shared working tree (like git).

It also directly supports and encourages a large number of development best practices like refactoring and pre-commit regression testing. Users can choose between our command line tool and our cross-platform GUI application. For further details, see our website at http://bazaar-vcs.org/en.
