Which version control system should I use for my small personal code files?

Git or mercurial both work great. No server required.

I've used subversion for this in the past. Mostly this is because I'm in windows, and TortoiseSVN is a dead simple UI for my repo. For a scenario like yours, which is relatively simple, I'd recommend using either what you're familiar with, or what is easy to use on your platform.

Git is actually really easy to use in such a setting, and it scales just as well to really small repositories with a few commits a month as it does to huge ones with a hundred a day. Here's how you would set up such a repository: $ cd ~/your-scripts $ git init $ git add . $ git commit -m 'Start script repository' Ta-da!

As a hosting solution we make use of codesion.com/free_cvs_svn, you will note they also support Git hosting. They also host a bunch of other services that go hand in-in-hand with versioning.

Check out some of the personal version control systems. Hers is a short list: FileHamster story Explorer FolderTrack Oops! Backup They are super easy to use and "automatically checkin" when ever you modify your files.

Note: I am the author of FolderTrack and recomend it for software because it can treat a bunch of files as 1 big project. Therefore if you need to revert your project to where it was yesterday, it will revert the 8, 10, or how ever many other files you modified since that time. Free code: BOS.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
