History
RhodeCode was created in 2010 by Marcin Kuźmiński
At the beginning of 2013, RhodeCode Enterprise was created to implement features that enterprise users were requesting. The new version was released in August 2013,[6][7] which also made parts of the software no longer open source.
Move to open source

Starting 2016, RhodeCode is open source,
