SCMSen

SCMSen is a software configuration management platform designed to manage source code, binaries, documentation, and related artifacts across software development teams. It provides tools for version control, change tracking, access control, and collaboration, with the goal of enabling reproducible builds and auditable pipelines.

Its core functionality includes version control with atomic commits and history, branching and merging, and merging strategies. It supports code reviews through integrated pull requests or merge requests, inline annotations, and approval workflows. It offers artifact management and repository-level search, tagging, and labeling for releases. Security and governance features include granular permissions, authentication and authorization via LDAP, OAuth, or SSO, and comprehensive audit logs of changes and access. It also supports metadata and tagging for compliance and traceability.

SCMSen exposes a RESTful API and a web-based user interface, with client libraries and CLI tools to integrate into development workflows. It can be extended through a plugin or extension system and integrates with issue trackers, CI/CD systems, release automation, and packaging tools, enabling automated pipelines, build triggers, and artifact promotion.

Deployment and scalability: SCMSen supports on-premises deployments and cloud or managed instances, with containerized components for orchestration in Kubernetes or similar environments. It is designed to handle large repositories, high concurrency, and multi-tenant setups. Data can be stored in relational databases or scalable object storage, with backups and disaster recovery options.

History and usage: The platform emphasizes security, traceability, and collaboration, and has been adopted by organizations that require rigorous governance over code and artifacts, including regulated industries. The project is continuously evolved through community contributions and vendor-supported releases.
