What is Bazaar?

Bazaar is a version control system that helps you track project history over time and to collaborate easily with others. Whether you're a single developer, a co-located team or a community of developers scattered across the world, Bazaar scales and adapts to meet your needs. There's no need to choose between central and distributed version control tools: Bazaar directly supports many workflows with ease.

Bazaar supports many best practices including refactoring, pair programming, feature branching, peer reviews and pre-commit regression testing. With true rename tracking for files and directories, merging changes from others simply works more often.

It's easy to migrate many existing projects including full history. Unable to migrate just yet? Track projects managed in Subversion, Git and Mercurial using standard Bazaar clients. Friendly, fast and efficient, Bazaar is free to use, embed and extend to meet your needs.
