Darcs is a free, open source source code management system.
- Distributed
- Every user has access to the full command set, removing
boundaries between server and client or committer and
non-committers.
- Interactive
- Darcs is easy to learn and efficient to use because it asks
you questions in response to simple commands, giving you choices
in your work flow. You can choose to record one change in a
file, while ignoring another. As you update from upstream, you
can review each patch name, even the full "diff" for interesting
patches.
- Smart
- Originally developed by physicist David Roundy, darcs is
based on a unique algebra of patches. This smartness lets you
respond to changing demands in ways that would otherwise not be
possible. For example, learn about spontaneous
branches with darcs.
Darcs is a member of the Software Freedom
Conservancy, a non-profit organisation which provides valuable
financial and administrative services to its member projects.
