Question

I have NEVER used ANY version control system before. I am currently using the check-in-check-out feature of Dreamweaver but I would like to implement some sort of version control system where I can roll back to previous versions. Also it would be great but not required if I could go back like 3 versions, fix a bug, and have that bug fixed for all the later versions. I have no experience with version control, mainly because I never knew about it until I started reading the pragmatic programmer. So I would probably need step by step directions so if there is a tutorial or something I can be pointed to that would be great too.

Thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Turtoise SVN would be a great first step into proper version control system.

Bazaar have impressed me lately, it's a fairly new scm and not that many 3rd party tools just yet. But if you want the latest and the greatest try it out!

If you're on Windows, and want a smooth but powerful Distributed Version Control System, I recommend Mercurial through TortoiseHg. As a newcomer to version control, I can attest to its robust and nice, detailed interface, where you can smoothly progress from GUI-clicking to command line operations when needed.
