This bachelor thesis focuses on distributed version control systems and workflows used when working with such systems. The thesis will investigate benefits and disadvantages in using distributed version control in software development using a literature review of the available articles on the subject as well as a post-mortem analysis (with questionnaires and data collected from the build environment) of a student run software engineering project. We find that the migration costs are high, but that the advantages may outweigh its drawbacks for some. We conclude that many projects would benefit from migrating, but in particular, that new projects would not only benefit, but also not have high migration costs. / En undersökning om hur man kan arbeta med moderna, distribuerade, versionshanteringssystem. Baserat på dels en literaturstudie, och dels en frågeundersökning bland studenter på BTH dras slutsatsen att det både finns för- och nackdelar, men att fördelarna verkar väga över i det generella fallet. / Jag (Olof Johansson) är nåbar främst per e-post, men även på telefonnummer +46739467135.
