Perforce is a software development and version control system used by software development teams to manage source code, documents, and digital assets. It provides granular control over code and content changes, enabling teams to track and revert any changes that may affect the integrity of the codebase. It also provides the tools necessary for software teams to collaborate and work together efficiently. Perforce supports both distributed and centralized version control systems, allowing teams to work in multiple locations simultaneously. The system also features check-in/check-out and locking mechanisms to prevent conflicting changes from being committed. Perforce provides a web-based code and content review system, allowing developers to review each other's changes before they are committed to the system. It also provides tools for automating testing, code coverage, and deployment, as well as auditing and reporting capabilities.
Git cannot handle very large files or very large collections of files. Git has no concept of access control by group or location.
