Darcs and Rails - Hacking Journal [2006/02/05]
Today I took some time to setup and try out Darcs, a revision control system.
Darcs is a revision control system. Darcs is simple to learn and use, with a powerful new approach to meet the needs of today’s distributed software projects. Darcs is decentralized, based on a “theory of patches” with roots in quantum mechanics. Darcs is free software, licensed under the GPL.
Coming from Subversion, I found Darcs really is simple and easy to use. I was able to migrate a Subversion Repo by hand into Darcs and I rather like it’s ease of use. To me the best part about it is that it does not put little .svn directories all over the place, it only has a _darcs in the root of the repository. I will be using it on my blog engine project which hopefully I can spend some more time on later this week.
