| Lads & Lassies, Just wondering how do ye guess manage yer source control for clients source code? Do ye use particular applications. I am currently setting it up at present and like some advice. |

| Three letters, SVN. |

| I use Subversion (svn) from subversion.tigris.org or more specifically the windows version at tortoisesvn.tigris.org |

| I've been using tortoiseSVN with Springloops. Found both pretty straightforward to use. |

| lots and lots of folders :P but seriously SVN is the way to go ... old company used CVS ... I wasn't a fan ...

Basically set up a repository .. where you have all your files. Check your files in. Lets say its the first version of your files ... give the whole group a tag / label. Now in future lets say you blow something up ... you can revert your live files to this tag / label Now as you go you check files out to edit them ... you make changes you commit the changes to source control. Lets say you mess up ... you've got the previous version. Normally you check in each change you make and you should get into the habit of commenting on it all. Is this annoying yes ... is it a godsend in the long run hell yes ... you can compare different versions and see what changes you've made ... revert single files back ... and so on ... You're happy with the state of things ... check everything in and give it a tag / label .. now you can set up some shiny goodness / scripts to update files on your live site and so on ... have I missed anything ? (this was the basics ... you can get into branching .. locking files and so on as well) |

| never used source control... probably should look into it. Especially since the last vb.net project I was working on, I had to pass over to our specialist team of devlopers who were ready to take over the project after I started it (and finished it) before they had time to even think about starting it. Anywho, the last conf call I had with them made me feel like an amateur as they were talking about SVN and CVS and asked what I was using... I was... like... eh... folders with different names on? Oh, there was laughter.
