Open Source Linux Version Control Software

The Heirloom Project provides standard Unix utilities.

ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support.

Gogs is a simple, stable, self-hosted Git service that is easy to install and setup. All you have to do is run the binary on any platform that Go supports: Linux, macOS and Windows. You may also install from source, from packages, or ship with Docker or Vagrant. Gogs is very lightweight with minimal hardware requirements, running on Raspberry Pi and even on NAS devices. Gogs offers plenty of great features, including various access repositories, repository and organization webhooks, repository Git hooks, repository management and so much more. It also offers software, service and product support for various areas such as project management (Kanboard, Taiga), DevOps (Fabric8) and team communication (BearyChat).

Remote Subversion repository dump

The LAMPAS project is a combination of common Open Source tools that provides a unified system from where administrators, developers and other parties can manage a large application cluster. The underlying platform is LAMP based.

You list files hundreds of times a day. Why spend your time squinting at black and white text? exa is an improved file lister with more features and better defaults. It uses colours to distinguish file types and metadata. It knows about symlinks, extended attributes, and Git. And it’s small, fast, and just one single binary. Different types of file and data will be coloured differently, and the user and group columns will be highlighted for the current user. exa can display a file’s extended attributes, as well as standard filesystem information such as the inode, the number of blocks, and a file’s various dates and times. exa queries files in parallel, giving you performance on par with ls. Not only is the standard tree tool built-in, but it’ll show you your files’ information alongside the hierarchy. View the staged and unstaged status of every file, right there in the standard view. Also works in tree view for a high-level overview of your repository.

SVN Access Manager is a powerful tool for managing access to subversion repositories. The tool provides user and group management and access rights (read/write) to dedicated paths in a repository as well.

SVNManager is a webbased administration tool for servers that host Subversion repositories.

phpEasyVCS is a simple version control system (VCS) with minimal hosting requirements, namely PHP 5.2+. No database is needed. Files can be viewed and uploaded with a browser or by WebDAV, which allows you to access the files like a local drive in all operating systems. For integration with other software a REST service is provided. It is very easy to view the file versions at a specific point in time. The web interface allows you to easily compare file versions and synchronize and merge local files with the files in phpEasyVCS. It is possible to host multiple repositories and define multiple users with full, read-only or no access to each of the repositories.

The iF.SVNAdmin application is a web based GUI to your Subversion authorization file. It is based on PHP 5.3 and requires a web server (Apache) to be installed. (+ LDAP integration; no database required)

A source code diff tool. Adapted from cvsweb, it makes code inspection easy. It also provides another diff tool with which you can either compare two files or two directories recursively. It is written in perl and uses String::Ediff for finer diff.

RDIST - remote file distribution program. (BSD Licensed).

A set of scripts named "svnexport" is intended to update the Web site from the Subversion repository by using "svn export [options]" command. You can work through a Web interface or from the command line.

A CVS with simple architecture and easy interface. Use to sincronize automatically a directory, project or for backup. Works in any OS with Perl. FEATURES: web access; client/server; protocol compression; own chksum; Web Admin.

A personal document management system combining the features of backup, version control and document management tools.

GitSync is a shell script designed to simplify the usage of the version control system GIT (see www.git-scm.com for more information) by providing a "do everything to sync my repository" command.

Sh scripts for (un)installing packages that can't be installed by default with apt-get.

ALM Migrator is a tool to migrate artifacts from version control systems (e.g. CVS, Subversion) and other life-cycle tools to integrated ALM solutions (Borland StarTeam, CA Harvest, Serena Dimensions, IBM ClearCase, etc.). It is based on AbstractALM.

Albedo is an open-source recommender system aimed at helping developers discover GitHub repositories by learning from activity signals. It treats repositories and developers as a graph of interactions and applies large-scale matrix factorization to model affinities, with Apache Spark providing the distributed data processing. The project focuses on implicit feedback—stars, watches, and other engagement metrics—so it can build useful recommendations without explicit ratings. A reproducible setup and Makefile-driven workflow streamline tasks like spinning up services, loading datasets, training models, and generating candidate lists. Because it’s built around Spark’s scalable primitives, Albedo can experiment on substantial snapshots of GitHub metadata rather than toy corpora. The repo is also educational: it demonstrates a practical end-to-end pipeline from ingestion and feature preparation to training and ranking.

Anubis Gate is an abstract Content Management and Distribution tool designed for secure and fault-tolerant enterprise server-farm deployments, with multiple test stages. It is content agnostic, meaning it can distribute any type of content.

The Ape Base Compile System is a set of bash scripts to leverage both ESP EPM (http://www.epmhome.org/) and MREPO (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/mrepo/) in maintaining applications such as as Apache HTTPD, MySQL or PHP on Red Hat based systems.

Build System for Java offers an enhanced build environment that ties together deployment instructions, environment configuration and source code as a releaseable entity. A new paradigm for configuration management!

BURDShell is an extendable developer platform shell with common commands to help the developer manage and speed up their common tasks. It manages sites, databases, repos, backups, and apps. Once set up, the developer can enjoy the speed of setting up projects with the assurance of fast, restorable version controlled backups.

BTS is a Build Template System designed for building packages for th common packing systems in use by current distributions based on a single XML package description. We are finally restarting development after a long break due to NeOS work.
