The Bazaar (bzr) Version Control system (VCS)

Brief introduction

Bazaar (bzr) is a distributed version control system sponsored by Canonical Ltd. and designed to make it easier for anyone to contribute to free and open source software projects. The development team's focus is on ease of use, accuracy and flexibility, with a particular focus on branching and merging. Bazaar can be used efficiently by a single developer working on multiple branches of local content, or by teams collaborating across a network. It is written in the Python programming language, with packages for major Linux distributions, Mac OS X and MS Windows. Bazaar is free software and part of the GNU project.

We provide a generic Introduction to bzr, adapted for ABINIT developers. Reading the Particulars is mandatory to become an ABINIT developer. More information is to be found on the Bazaar Web site.
