Pijul is a sound and fast distributed version control system based on a mathematical theory of asynchronous work.
Pijul is based on changes, so perhaps the most important command is the one that creates them, pijul rec.
Channels are a way to maintain two related versions of a repository in the same place (a bit like branches in Git). Formally, a channel is a pointer to a set of changes (the state of a channel is a set of changes). However, channels are different from Git branches, and do not serve the same purpose. In Pijul, independent changes commute, which means that in many cases where branches are used in Git, there is no need to create a channel in Pijul.
