for MS or LinuX?
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi there;
What are the famous code versioning tools in MS and LINUX?
free/paid?
and most importantly idiot proof:)
My paranoia is while versioning, i may lose the old version or new version so is there a guide or stg like that you can provide too?
P.S. Please, do not simply google and write down the names. I want the ones who are really using one or more.
Simplicity and effectivity is important.
Best regards.

Best is Subversion. Use TortoiseSVN as a client for that. Subversion, or SVN as it is called, is time-tested tool. If you want to prevent all that hassle, subscribe to DataDepositBox online backup. Just install it's client program and set the important folders. It will automatically backup the file as and when it changes. It maintains multiple versions also. The added advantages are:
(1) You can restore anytime, anywhere.
(2) You can use on multiple computers.
Long time no see...I really appreciate your patience and interest in my question.
ok, i installed svn and I proved my idioicy...When I right click on a folder, SVN checkout and Tortoise SVN menu items can be seen. But I don't know how to version that folder? I mean, is there a visual guide of using this tool? :)
or could you write a very simple steps for a folder?
I mean, could you confirm my steps,
1) create a directory in a drive
2) right click on the directory and selecting TortoiseSVN->Create repository here
(meaning I need a repository for my operations or what?)
What is checkin/out process, what is the use. Any example for this idiot? :)

Well, you need to read its documentation carefully. Check this link: http://svnbook.red-bean.co
In short,
(1) You need to first create a new repository.
(2) You need to import your project (folder) into this repository for the first-time.
(3) Click commit, to check-in your project for the first time.
(4) Later, you can just right-click the folder and select CheckOut. After that you will start seeing versions when each time you work on any file in your working folder. You can select "Show History" option to see the history of a file or a folder.
(1) You need to first create a new repository.
I create a folder in my D:\ drive for the repository, I go into that empty folder and right click on the empty folder and select TortoiseSVN->Create repository here and the repository is created with success.
(2) You need to import your project (folder) into this repository for the first-time.
When I right click on my project/folder and select TortoiseSVN->import. A window appears and he prompts the URL of the repository, I write my repository as D:\myrep and pressed OK.
He gives the error "Unrecognized URL scheme for 'd:\myrep'". What should I do?
Best regards.
