Breezy (brz) is a decentralized revision control system, designed to be
easy for developers and end users alike.

By default, Breezy provides support for both the Bazaar <https://www.bazaar-vcs.org>_ and Git <https://www.git-scm.com/>_ file
formats.

You can install from source by following the instructions in the INSTALL file.
At the moment of writing there are no binary packages available.

To learn how to use Breezy, see the official documentation in the doc
directory or refer to the Bazaar documentation at
https://www.breezy-vcs.org/doc/en/.

Breezy is Free Software, and is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2 or later.

Breezy is a friendly fork of the Bazaar (bzr) project, hosted on
https://launchpad.net/bzr. It is backwards compatibility with
Bazaar's disk format and protocols. One of the key differences with
Bazaar is that Breezy runs on Python 3, rather than on Python 2.

Breezy highlights

Breezy directly supports both central version control (like cvs/svn) and
distributed version control (like git/hg). Developers can organize their
workspace in whichever way they want on a per project basis including:

• checkouts (like svn)
• feature branches (like hg)
• shared working tree (like git).

It also directly supports and encourages a large number of development best
practices like refactoring and pre-commit regression testing. Users can
choose between our command line tool and our cross-platform GUI application.
