I’m currently developing a website using PHP/MySQL using Adobe Dreamweaver and has been asked to use a form of version control like SVN. I’m currently on a shared host Hostgator, how do I go about setting up SVN if it is possible. On their FAQ for SVN, they mention that they support the client not the server.
Are there alternatives to SVN? Can Github be used? I need my code to stay private not public…
EDIT: Is it advantageous to have the version control integrated into Dreamweaver?
Mercurial, git, CVS, bazar, … just to mention some alternatives. Github can be used, of course, but this requires git to be used instead of SVN. In any case you should ask “the asker” (chef or customer I guess), if it is ok for him.
