Are there other free (like payment) alternatives to git?

The only other one I know of that can be used for large files is https://www.plasticscm.com/ .

There's Jujutsu/jj: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj

It can be used with regular Git repos.

maybe fossil[0]? Not sure about `large files` (and in fact I went to comment to ask about anyone using it 'in production' when I saw your comment)

Re. large files: fossil inherits sqlite's limit of 32-bit signed integers for blobs, so 2GB. Fossil's own developers (myself included) have never come anywhere near that limitation in everyday SCM use.

Mercurial is still actively developed.

[rebolek]

And its interface makes more sense than Git.

And with sapling, a fork of Mercurial, it is network compatible with git so you can get around git and github's network effect
