<p>Rather than working in parallel and occasionally merging, it can be
useful at times to work in lockstep, i.e. for multiple people to
be continuously committing changes to a central location, merging
their work with the latest content before every commit.</p>
<p>This workflow is very familiar to users of central VCS tools like
Subversion and CVS. It is also applicable to a single developer
who works on multiple machines, e.g. someone who normally works
on a desktop computer but travels with a laptop, or someone who
uses their (Internet connected) home computer to complete office
work out of hours.</p>
<p>If centralized development works well for your team already, that’s
great. Many teams begin using Bazaar this way and experiment with
alternative workflows later.</p>

<p>Even if your team is planning to use a more distributed workflow, many
of the tasks covered in this chapter may be useful to you, particularly
how to publish branches.</p>
