tool to create repository on local machine and allow checkins and source control locally

I am developing on Fedora. I don't have any remote server or so. But I want to setup something to help me does "source control" of the changes that I make locally - allow me to create reposi开发者_运维知识库tories, checkin, checkout, look at history etc, all just on my machine. Is there such tool available on Fedora?

You can consider using Git, following the instructions at Using Fedora Git.
(See also the "installing Git" section, for instance)

As a DVCS, you will have the full history of your repo in a local .git directory.

Note: Mercurial would be, on Fedora, an equally valid choice.
