Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm wondering about whether I should use SVN, Github or Git. I'm familiar with SVN as I have the SVN server on my Windows 7 (only locally though). I don't know anything about Github or Git? Are they the same even?<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if I use Github if I'll set passwords for the code and directories as it's mainly used for my clients. <br />
<br />
I'm using Tortoise SVN but does Github have a nice graphical interface like Tortoise so I can see which files haven't been committed, which have been added and so forth like the screenshot.<br />

Hi,

I'm wondering about whether I should use SVN, Github or Git. I'm familiar with SVN as I have the SVN server on my Windows 7 (only locally though). I don't know anything about Github or Git? Are they the same even?

I'm wondering if I use Github if I'll set passwords for the code and directories as it's mainly used for my clients. 

I'm using Tortoise SVN but does Github have a nice graphical interface like Tortoise so I can see which files haven't been committed, which have been added and so forth like the screenshot.

SVN or GitHub or Git

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
