Personal CCM

[Chris Green]

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a single developer CCM tool (code control management ala SourceSafe, Continuus, etc). Currently I am just zipping up copies and keeping them on my usb key :blush: . I think I would be more comfortable with a proper solution, especially if the db was small and could be stored externally (like on a usb key/external drive). Also having the ability to diff current/previous versions would be imperative. Any suggestions on a lightweight FREE tool to pull this off?

I guess CVS is about as lightweight as you can get, and it's free.

You might want to look at Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) which is aimed as a successor to CVS...

I use SubVersion along with the TortoiseSVN front end with explorer shell integration. It's a very nice solution, much easier than CVS but not quite as good as something like ClearCase - which is probably totally over the top for most personal developments, and definatly isn't free.

Evolution would be perfect for your needs. Unlike CVS and Subversion, it's commercial software, but single-user licenses are free. It will give you the version control that you need and much more, but it's still pretty intuitive and easy to get up and running. You should be able to dowload it from the ionforge website: http://www.ionforge.com/?code=250088
