CVS is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). Using it, you can record the history of sources files, and documents. It fills a similar role to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis packages.

The rcshist utility displays the complete revision history of a set of RCS files including log messages and patches. It can also display the patch associated with a particular revision of an RCS file.

The git-extras package provides a collection of additional git commands for repository metrics and summarization, commit and log editing, developer workflow, and project and release management.

This package provides a syntax-aware merge driver for Git.

git-spice (gs) is a command line tool for stacking Git branches, a collection of branches expecting the trunk has a base branch. It manages and navigates stacks of branches, conveniently modifies and rebases them also provides an integration with GitHub and GitLab.

Libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

RCS is the original Revision Control System. It works on a file-by-file basis, in contrast to subsequent version control systems such as CVS, Subversion, and Git. This can make it suitable for system administration files, for example, which are often inherently local to one machine.

Gitolite is an access control layer on top of Git, providing fine access control to Git repositories.

Subversion (svn) exists to be recognized and adopted as a centralized version control system characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.

Any git repository may contain tons of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because there are a gazillion options to a gazillion git commands. This package provides a cleaner interface to access this information.

git-credential-oauth is a Git credential helper that securely authenticates to GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Gerrit, Gitea, and Forgejo using OAuth. The first time you authenticate, the helper opens a browser window to the host. Subsequent authentication within storage lifetime is non-interactive.

libfossil is an alternative interface into Fossil repositories, as opposed to a replacement for the core fossil application, intended for new ways to access and manipulate fossil repositories.

This package provides a way to store git metadata on Nostr (including collaboration stuff like PRs, issues, statuses, ...).

Libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

This package is an implementation of Git's wildmatch.c-style pattern matching.

Libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

Evolve is a Mercurial extension for faster and safer mutable history. It implements the changeset evolution concept for Mercurial.

GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories, high-level like git-porcelain, or low-level like git-plumbing.

It provides abstractions of Git objects for easy access of repository data, and additionally allows you to access the Git repository more directly using either a pure Python implementation, or the faster, but more resource intensive git command implementation.

Git is a free distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

git-crypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of files in a git repository. Files which you choose to protect are encrypted when committed, and decrypted when checked out. git-crypt lets you freely share a repository containing a mix of public and private content. git-crypt gracefully degrades, so developers without the secret key can still clone and commit to a repository with encrypted files. This lets you store your secret material (such as keys or passwords) in the same repository as your code, without requiring you to lock down your entire repository.

Fossil is a distributed source control management system which supports access and administration over HTTP CGI or via a built-in HTTP server. It has a built-in wiki, built-in file browsing, built-in tickets system, etc.

Libmpeg3 decodes MP2, MP3, AC3, MPEG-1 video, MPEG-2 video, and DVD footage in a single library. It supports many esoteric features like parallel video decoding, frame-accurate editing, YUV 4:2:2, and ATSC transport stream decoding

Screenkey is a screencast tool to display your keys inspired by Screenflick.
