Distributed Version Control

In computer programming, distributed revision control, also known as distributed version control or decentralized version control, allows many software developers to work on a given project without requiring them to share a common network.

Distributed revision control takes a peer-to-peer approach to version control, as opposed to the client-server approach of centralized systems. Rather than a single, central repository on which clients synchronize, each peer's working copy of the codebase is a complete repository.
