Fully Subverted

Since implementing Subversion at work, I’ve been anxious to get some of my own files here at home under source control.

I’m now pleased to announce that it’s complete and went rather painlessly. I installed Subversion this weekend using one of the graphical installer packages. After I got that up and running, I chose Tortoise SVN as the client, mostly because we use it at work but it also integrates nicely with Windows. Tortoise gives you a contextual menu right in Windows explorer that allows you to manage all your version controlled files (or add files to source control) by simply right-clicking.

If you’re new to setting up source control and repositories (like I am), it doesn’t get any easier than these two applications. Now I just need to setup up my repository so I can connect to it from my laptop.
