Hi
I’m currently seeing a need for handling source code for a few projects I’m working on. I have no need for external hosting, but I do need to have a structure internal in my development environment.
So, how would you guys recommend to handle this? To you just place the files on a file share in your environment, or do you set up some kind of versioning systems? I’m quite new to this, but I would like to have some way of getting back to old versions of my code, I would like to have the source code centrally stored so I can reach if from bothmy laptop and workstation.

Use a source control management system – I would suggest using a distributed one such as Git or Mercurial, so you don’t need a server or need to be online to work.
You can still have a central location where you push and pull stuff from if you really want to.
If you must have a server, go with SVN – it is easy to setup and widely used.
With all of these options, there are hosted services that you can use as a central store.
