There are several other on-line version-control systems.? Some are free and others
charge high prices for their use.? Some have potential for BITX code development
work, and some less appropriate.?
Those of us using Linux already have local RCS and VCS that was migrated from ancient UNIX tools.? CVCS (Concurrent Version Control System) is also available on Linux systems.
Some of the readily available IDE packages also include either RCS or CVS tools.? Of course
these are local solutions, but they could be made accessible to others via a shared file
system on cloud-computing servers.
If the Microsoft purchase of GitHub does become a problem then we might want to look at
some of these alternatives.?
It might be interesting to approach the people who made and support to see if they could include some sort of version control as an option for groups that are interesting in code
