Darcs is a free and open source, cross-platform version control system, like git, mercurial or svn but with a very different approach: focus on changes rather than snapshots. Darcs offers a **freer** way of working, and a **simpler** user interface. Darcs *does not require a central server*, and works perfectly in **offline** mode.
