Subversion for Windows

by Robert Dempsey on June 5, 2006

Hello everyone,

Source control is not just an interesting concept, it is essential for every developer who doesn’t like running into the “oh crap” factor. When I started out I would copy and paste my files into a directory on an external drive. Later I got more fancy and made a batch file that would copy them. After a lot of headaches someone told me about Subversion. At ADS use it for many projects we host on TextDrive (or other hosting company) and we also have a repository set up on our internal demo server. But what is a Windows-based developer to do until a repo gets set up? Well, after a Google search I found a great little one-click Subversion installer. I now use this on my laptop to check in code until I have a proper repo set up, preferably outside of my office network. Here is the link. Enjoy!
