プロジェクトの歴史

The project is an OpenBSD-style version-control effort with a C codebase, BSD licensing, manual pages, and a command set split across tools such as got, gotadmin, gotd, gotwebd, and tog. The got(1) manual describes got as a distributed version control system using the Git repository format, with checked-out work trees and synchronization between repositories.

A EuroBSDcon 2019 presentation described Game of Trees as a work-in-progress version control system intended to appeal to OpenBSD developers, designed and written from scratch, compatible with Git repositories, and built around concise manual pages. The public release directory shows a long sequence of 0.x tarball releases beginning with the 0.1 through 0.39 archives listed together in 2020, then steady release growth through 0.126 in 2026.

採用の歴史

Got started with OpenBSD as its home audience and later gained an official portable version for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, and macOS. The portable page lists pre-packaged versions for Alpine, MacPorts, Homebrew, NixOS, Void, Arch AUR, pkgsrc, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD ports, Chimera Linux, GNU Guix, and Slackware, showing adoption beyond OpenBSD while retaining an OpenBSD-centered development culture.

使われ方

Users can initialize, import, clone, check out, diff, commit, branch, tag, fetch, and send Git-format repositories through got commands. The got.conf manual documents per-repository and per-work-tree configuration for authors, remotes, branches, signer settings, and fetch/send behavior, while related tools handle repository administration, server operation, web browsing, and terminal browsing.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

Game of Trees is notable in package-manager culture because it is a serious alternative command-line interface and tool suite for Git-format repositories, built with BSD licensing and OpenBSD sensibilities. Packaging it gives non-OpenBSD users access to got, gotadmin, gotd, gotwebd, tog, and related workflows without replacing Git's on-disk repository format.
