Game of Trees (Got) is a version control system which prioritizes ease of use and simplicity over flexibility.
It stores the history of tracked files in a Git repository, as used by the Git version control system. This is a “distributed” version control system because every copy of a repository is writeable. Modifications made to files can be synchronized between repositories at any time.
Files managed by got must be checked out from the repository for modification. Checked out files are stored in a work tree which can be placed at an arbitrary directory in the filesystem hierarchy.
It is being developed on OpenBSD and its main target audience are OpenBSD developers, but it also runs under Linux.
This is free and open source software.
