I have got to the point with developing iPhone apps that I need a way of managing versions. I have looked into the ways to do this through Xcode and I see that I can either go down the path of using GIT or SVN.

In the past I have used SVN which is the reason I’m more inclined to go down this path (I’m open to using GIT if people feel it is better than SVN). My question is related to the setup of a repository in Xcode.

I have done a fair amount of research and I have found several useful tutorials, however a lot of the seem to be outdated.

My question is 2-fold:

  1. Please can someone advise on the steps to setup a repository through Xcode?
  2. I notice Xcode requires me to set the location of the repository. I’m not sure what to do here, since I don’t have my own server. Is there a way I can get around this? Can I setup a local repository somehow (if so how? if not what are my other options?)?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice people can offer.

    I think you should go with using GIT. You can create free repository on bitbucket.org

    It allows you to create free account which can be used using 5 members of your team. If you want more you need to pay.

    Once you are done with creating repo. just check it out on your pc. There are steps given on that site how to do that. Then in the folder which you checked out, create your XCode project. Once your project is ready, add it to the repository. How to do that is also given on bitbucket. Then once you have committed your Xcode project to repository, add that repository to XCode. How to do that is very nicely explained in XCode guide. Just read that.
