Most popular Version Control for Qt?

Engelard

What VC considered to be primary for Qt? Which of them usually preferred by the companies?

For example, for Unreal Engine it is clear that Perforce is main-way-to-go, everything else is secondary.

Hi,

The Qt Company uses git for Qt's sources however there's no specific recommendation with regard to that. Use whatever fits your workflow best.

This might be hotly debated. However, I would claim that currently GIT is the most popular VC. Both Qt Creator and Visual Studio have support built in for GIT as the only VC. If you are planning on using Qt Creator, it makes sense to choose GIT for its integration (e.g. if you create a new project you can directly say it should use GIT).

That being said: Most of the time I use external tools for GIT. Only on few occasions I use GIT diff and GIT blame from Qt Creator directly. If you also plan to use external tools, pick whatever VC you like.

PS: Only VCs I have used and that I personally mostly consider dead (and inferior to GIT) are CVS and SVN. Don't use these two.

@SimonSchroeder : "have support built in for GIT as the only VC" - I am not sure what the "only" here refers to, as there's also support for others, including Perforce (and Subversion, and CVS, and..), but I guess it's fair to say that git currently looks like the winner in the VC arena in this part of the world.
