Question

I’m a newbie developers and building an application with 3 other remote developers. I’ve only worked alone until now, and now I need a way to share my source code with the other developers on the project. All of the project sites out there (SourceForge, Codeplex, Google, etc) seem to be aimed at Open Source development I’m not interested in making our code available to the world, I’m just looking for a method of sharing the code among the four of us. What is the best known method…or how is this usually accomplished?

Answer 1

Yep, you need a version control repository which is remotely accessible. Subversion is excellent and very widely used; Git is another good option.

You could set up your own repository – you’ll need a server which all devs can access via ssh, or via Apache/WebDAV – or use a hosted service, like Beanstalk, Project Locker, Unfuddle, SVNsite, etc.
