Game of Trees 0.127 released July 20, 2026
Game of Trees -portable 0.127 released June 20, 2026

Game of Trees (Got) is a version control system which prioritizes ease of use and simplicity over flexibility.

Got uses Git repositories to store versioned data. Git can be used for any functionality which has not yet been implemented in Got. It will always remain possible to work with both Got and Git on the same repository.

Got is being developed on OpenBSD by OpenBSD developers and other contributors. While Got's main target audience are OpenBSD developers, it is being used for general version control tasks by users of OpenBSD and other Unix-like operating systems.

The software is freely usable and re-usable by everyone under a BSD-style licence.

No mention of openbsd on the internet is complete without a long thread about source control migration. — tedu@
