What is Distributed Version Control?

According to some, Distributed Version Control (DVCS) is “possibly the biggest advance in software development technology in the past ten years.“

DVCS is a new paradigm in version control, suited primarily for large projects with partly independent developers. As a good engineering practice, developers split their work into chunks, developing and testing in isolation and slowly merging their changes into the main line. As the project grows, the number of branches grow to a level where it becomes unmanageable in a centralized system. Distributed systems make branching and merging painless, make large projects manageable, and make teams productive.

Why we use and support Distributed Version Control?

DVCS takes a peer-to-peer approach, as opposed to the client-server approach of centralized systems. This results in some major advantages:

  • Performance: common operations are amazingly fast.
  • Merge: merge is a “dream” comparing to other systems.
  • Flexibility: your team members can work anywhere, anytime, including even offline.
  • Reliability: there is no single point of failure.
  • Scalability: proven on huge open source projects, like the Linux Kernel project for instance.
