BitKeeper是一套BitMover公司开发的分布式版本控制软件,它曾是一款专有软件,其主要竞争对手是Git和Mercurial。BitMover公司总部位于美国加州坎贝尔[2],总裁拉里·麦沃伊,曾设计TeamWare。
BitKeeper的许多概念取自TeamWare。它的主要卖点是“分布式”版本控制工具,不同于中心式的CVS或SVN。
历史
2002年至2005年间,Linux内核开发团队以BitKeeper来管理Linux内核程式码[3]。因为BitKeeper的公司收回了给林纳斯·托瓦兹(Linus Torvalds)及Linux核心开发者的免费软件授权,所以林纳斯·托瓦兹自行开发Git取而代之[3]。
2016年5月11日,BitKeeper宣布以Apache 2.0许可证开源。[4]
