      What is Git?

      Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

      What is Git Reflow?

      Reflow automatically creates pull requests, ensures the code review is approved, and squash merges finished branches to master with a great commit message template.

      What is Plastic SCM?

      Plastic SCM is a distributed version control designed for big projects. It excels on branching and merging, graphical user interfaces, and can also deal with large files and even file-locking (great for game devs). It includes "semantic" features like refactor detection to ease diffing complex refactors.
