This tutorial covers revision control - specifically revision control with bzr; revision control can be used as a safeguard against major mistakes and a tool to push your content up to a hosting website - we'll show you how to do this with launchpad.
This tutorial requires a minor familiarity with basic terminal commands (such as mkdir - make directory) (there are lots of nice tutorials on these commands out on the Internet) and it also requires you to install bzr; Windows users should find another tutorial - because the commands in here are all unix commands; Macintosh users click here; Linux users: type in sudo apt-get install bzr.
Bazaar is an open system of distributed revision control. The open system is characterized by its support for independent branches, and its heavy reliance on merge operations, which we will cover later. Distributed revision control means that each peer works on his own local repository rather than a single central repository.
Bazaar can be used by a single developer working on multiple branches of local content, or by teams collaborating across a network. Since it works person to person there is no central server involved, and people can join without having to access the central server.
