RCS is the original Revision Control System. It works on a file-by-file basis, in contrast to subsequent version control systems such as CVS, Subversion, and Git. This can make it suitable for system administration files, for example, which are often inherently local to one machine.

This package provides pijul, a sound and fast distributed version control system based on a mathematical theory of asynchronous work.

This package provides a custom transfer agent for Git LFS, allowing plain S3 bucket usage as remote storage for media files. This package uses a standalone agent instead of a server.

Libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server.

Subversion (svn) exists to be recognized and adopted as a centralized version control system characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.

This program analyzes a collection of RCS files in a CVS repository (or outside of one) and, when possible, emits an equivalent history in the form of a fast-import stream. Not all possible histories can be rendered this way; the program tries to emit useful warnings when it can't.

The program can also produce a visualization of the resulting commit DAG in the input format of Graphviz. The package also includes cvssync, a tool for mirroring masters from remote CVS hosts.

This package a interactive tool to interact with git branches using StGit.

Grokmirror enables replicating large git repository collections efficiently. Mirrors decide to clone and update repositories based on a manifest file published by servers.

The git-extras package provides a collection of additional git commands for repository metrics and summarization, commit and log editing, developer workflow, and project and release management.

This package provides Seamless .onion and tor-ified git remotes.

Gitlint is a Git commit message linter written in Python: it checks your commit messages for style.

Breezy (brz) is a decentralized revision control system. By default, Breezy provides support for both the Bazaar and Git file formats. Breezy is backwards compatible with Bazaar's disk format and protocols. One of the key differences with Bazaar is that Breezy runs on Python 3.3 and later, rather than on Python 2.

gh is GitHub on the command line. It brings pull requests, issues, and other GitHub concepts to the terminal next to where you are already working with git and your code. It works with GitHub.com, GitHub Enterprise Cloud, and GitHub Enterprise Server 2.20+.

Any git repository may contain tons of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because there are a gazillion options to a gazillion git commands. This package provides a cleaner interface to access this information.

git-crypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of files in a git repository. Files which you choose to protect are encrypted when committed, and decrypted when checked out. git-crypt lets you freely share a repository containing a mix of public and private content. git-crypt gracefully degrades, so developers without the secret key can still clone and commit to a repository with encrypted files. This lets you store your secret material (such as keys or passwords) in the same repository as your code, without requiring you to lock down your entire repository.

git-credential-oauth is a Git credential helper that securely authenticates to GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Gerrit, Gitea, and Forgejo using OAuth. The first time you authenticate, the helper opens a browser window to the host. Subsequent authentication within storage lifetime is non-interactive.

This Git extension defines a subcommand, imerge, which performs an incremental merge between two branches. Its two primary design goals are to reduce the pain of resolving merge conflicts by finding the smallest possible conflicts and to allow a merge to be saved, tested, interrupted, published, and collaborated on while in progress.

Fossil is a distributed source control management system which supports access and administration over HTTP CGI or via a built-in HTTP server. It has a built-in wiki, built-in file browsing, built-in tickets system, etc.

ghq provides a way to organize remote repository clones, like go get does. When you clone a remote repository by ghq get, ghq makes a directory under a specific root directory (by default ~/ghq) using the remote repository URL's host and path.

git-cal is a script to view commits calendar similar to GitHub contributions calendar.

This package provides a Mercurial extension for signing the changeset hash of commits. The signure is embedded directly in the changeset itself; there won't be any extra commits. Either GnuPG or OpenSSL can be used for signing.

Evolve is a Mercurial extension for faster and safer mutable history. It implements the changeset evolution concept for Mercurial.
