Abstract

Distributed version control systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described. A computer system may implement a version control blockchain system by obtaining source code and/or an artifact associated with source code. The computer system may serialize the source code and/or the artifact to obtain serialized data, and may encipher the serialized data to obtain a current block identifier (cb_id). The computer system may generate a block to include the cb_id, and may add the generated block to the version control blockchain upon validation of the block. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
