Bazaar (``bzr``) is a decentralized revision control system, designed to be
6
easy for developers and end users alike. Bazaar is part of the GNU project to
7
develop a complete free operating system <http://www.gnu.org/>, and a project
8
of Canonical <http://www.canonical.com/>.
10
Ready-to-install packages are available for most popular operating systems from
11
<http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/Download/> or you can install from source by
12
following the instructions in the INSTALL file.
14
To learn how to use Bazaar, see the official documentation in the `doc`
15

Bazaar is Free Software, and is released under the GNU General Public License,
28
Bazaar directly supports both central version control (like cvs/svn) and
29
distributed version control (like git/hg). Developers can organize their
30
workspace in whichever way they want on a per project basis including:
32
* checkouts (like svn)
33
* feature branches (like hg)
34
* shared working tree (like git).
36
It also directly supports and encourages a large number of development best
37
practices like refactoring and pre-commit regression testing. Users can
38
choose between our command line tool and our cross-platform GUI application.
