Do people use git alternatives? (programming.dev)

I know other version control software exists, but does anyone use it? Why? What are the differences? All I've ever actually seen people use is git.

There is pijul.

  1. Pijul's defining feature is its innovative algebra of patches model for version control, allowing changes to be applied in any order without creating conflicts, thus simplifying collaborative work.
  2. It efficiently handles branches and merges, with its patch theory often enabling it to automatically resolve conflicts, eliminating much of the headache typically associated with merge conflicts.
  3. Pijul is also free and open-source
