I write most of my PHP on one computer, but would like to edit

  • 0

I write most of my PHP on one computer, but would like to edit it on my laptop while in bed on occasion.

I imagine SVN or GIT would be a good candidate for this, or perhaps there’s a better alternative.

Is there someone out there who has tested many configurations, and found the most effective/efficient with current technology?

I do most of my work on my Win7 desktop and laptop, but am open to working with ubuntu. I use eclipse 3.7 with PDT 3.0

I don’t use the wamp package, and have mysql/php/apache installed separately. I also have a filezilla server for sending files between the two machines.

I have tried setting up SVN – but find that I forget to do updates/commits with tortoise. Maybe I should set up a windows script to remember for me?

    Use git. It provides tools that can really help you.

    I’d suggest you combine that with an easy syncing tool to ensure you have all the files you want with you on whatever machine you want to work.

    For instance, I write all my code within my free Dropbox folder. I also use git and push to github. This gives me version control and convenient access to my code from Linux @ work, Win7/Ubuntu on my home desktop and Win7/Ubuntu on my laptop. It really makes my life easier because it doesn’t matter where, or which OS I’ve booted, I can always access my code and work on it when an idea strikes me.
