Version Control

Post by Toot4fun »

I'm thinking about implementing a version control system and was wondering what people recommend. I'm using 1and1 as my host, so I don't have complete control over my server. I don't have a lot to keep track of, but it's getting to the point where it might be a good idea for me. I think I might try ASVCS today, but was wondering what everyone else thought.

Thank you!

I think DARCS is the best system I've used so far. It's great.

I've been wondering about this is well. Is there an open source PHP version control system that has a web interface? I've been looking for something like that, but I haven't been able to find one.

There isn't a version control system written in PHP. PHP really wouldn't be a very good language to write one in. There are interfaces to them though - trac as an interface to SVN for example.

I recommend SVN. All the rage now is about distributed systems, but I still think centralized systems are the way to go.
Here's a comparison of the two - http://blog.ianbicking.org/distributed- ... d-scm.html
