Bazaar

About

Bazaar is a free and open-source distributed version control system, originating from the United Kingdom, designed to facilitate collaboration by tracking changes in file groups, such as software source code, and providing snapshots of their evolution. Available across Mac, Windows, Linux, and Haiku platforms, its product portfolio focuses on this core version control functionality, offering features like suggesting and voting on features. A unique selling point was its out-of-the-box GUI, aimed at ease of use, though its IDE integration was considered less developed than competitors like SVN. While initially positioned as a collaborative tool, recent user reviews suggest the project has been largely abandoned, with users now often recommended to use alternatives such as Mercurial, particularly in combination with TortoiseHg. As a free and open-source project, it does not have a traditional revenue model or specified leadership, nor is an employee count provided. It is broadly categorized under supply-chain-management and maintains a social media presence via Twitter.
