bitkeeper | This is the master copy of the BitKeeper source | Machine Learning library

bitkeeper is a C library typically used in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning applications. bitkeeper has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

BitKeeper is the original distributed source control system. Well, sort of. Larry wrote a semi-distributed source-control system back at Sun (productized as Teamware) and Rick had a research system of sorts, but for better or worse, BitKeeper was the first widely used distributed source-control system. The BitKeeper history needs to be written up but the short version is that it happened because Larry wanted to help Linux not turn into a bunch of splintered factions like 386BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, etc. He saw that the problem was one of tooling. He built a team and built BitKeeper so the kernel guys would have a reasonable tool and no need to split up the team (the problem was that Linus refused to use any source management system: "they all suck!" which wasn't bad for him but really sucked for the downstream people who had to merge everything by hand each time Linus released). It took a couple years. Then the PowerPC people led by Cort Dougan took a chance on early BK. A couple years later Linus moved to it and most of the developers followed. They stayed in it for three more years before moving to Git because BitKeeper wasn't open source.
