About Beanstalk

A code version control system that enables its users to write, review, and deploy code in a secure and reliable way.

• Rock solid Git and SVN hosting
• Code review that doesn’t lock you in
• Instantly deploy code anywhere
• Enterprise security, performance and reliability

Centralized user management & security

• Create and manage repositories

Instantly available with unmatched reliability and security. Import or create Subversion and Git repositories that are instantly available to your team. We do all of the complicated configuration for you, and ensure your code is safe, secure, backed up, and available.

• Invite team members & clients

Manage access rights and team permissions. Restrict access to certain repos and provide read-only or full read/write permissions. You can create teams to quickly manage access for many people at once. You will also have a full activity overview of everyone’s work.

• Branch permissions

Manage user access for individual branches. With Git and SVN, you can restrict a user's write access to any particular branch or directory. For teams that have rigid policies this is a great way to keep code clean.

Instantly view, edit and share code

• Browse files and changes

Work from anywhere using web and mobile browsers. Every version of every file you have committed to Beanstalk is just a click away. See a timeline of who made changes and view the differences between revisions. Syntax highlighting for over 70 languages.

• Code editing

Commit quick changes and fixes on the go. Get work done even when you don't have a local working copy. Make and commit changes directly in the web interface of Beanstalk. Handy for putting out fires and allowing your team to make copy changes.

• Preview, compare & share

Make faster decisions in your design process. Instantly preview HTML and image files in Beanstalk, compare versions side by side, and share them with your team, colleagues or clients, even if they don’t have a Beanstalk account.

Review history and compare changes

• File history

View every version of all files in your repository. You'll have instant access to every commit made to any particular file. You will have a timeline of all the changes, who made the change and why. File history will allow anyone on the team to quickly troubleshoot issues.

• Blame tool

See who last touched every line of code. When you want to know who is responsible for a specific line of code, blame gives you the user, revision, and comment of the last change made to that line.

• Compare branches

Avoid mistakes & improve code with peer review. Review the changes across Git branches, including revisions, files, contributors and even associated tickets. It’s perfect for reviewing code before merging.

Manage branches directly in Beanstalk

• View all branches

Quick access to the status of every branch. A snapshot of all current branches along with who is involved, how it compares to your base branch, and if conflicts exist.

• Create branches

Start new work without ever leaving the browser. Create a branch based on any other branch without ever touching the command line. It's never been easier.

• Merge in one-click

Review and finalize changes in a single place. View if conflicts exist, compare the changes and merge back into the base branch in one smooth process.

About Mercurial

Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool. It efficiently handles projects of any size and offers an easy and intuitive interface.

Distributed architecture

Traditional version control systems such as Subversion are typical client-server architectures with a central server to store the revisions of a project. In contrast, Mercurial is truly distributed, giving each developer a local copy of the entire development history. This way it works independent of network access or a central server. Committing, branching and merging are fast and cheap.

Fast

Mercurial's implementation and data structures are designed to be fast. You can generate diffs between revisions, or jump back in time within seconds. Therefore Mercurial is perfectly suitable for large projects such as nginx (hg) or NetBeans (hg).

Platform independent

Mercurial was written with platform independence in mind. Therefore most of Mercurial is written in Python, with a small part in portable C for performance reasons. As a result, binary releases are available on all major platforms.

Extensible

The functionality of Mercurial can be increased with extensions, either by activating the official ones which are shipped with Mercurial or downloading some from the wiki or by writing your own. Extensions are written in Python and can change the workings of the basic commands, add new commands and access all the core functions of Mercurial.

Easy to use

Mercurial sports a consistent command set in which most subversion users feel right at home. Potentially dangerous actions are available via extensions you need to enable, so the basic interface is easy to use, easy to learn and hard to break. The Quick Start should get you going in a just few minutes.

Open Source

Mercurial is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License Version 2 or any later version.
