I’m having some doubts on how to set up my SVN stuff.
First my situation: Programmer working alone on most stuff, outside access not needed (yet).
I want:
- A speedy SVN, preferably free.
- Private
- Backup friendly
- Somewhat hassle free
- A lot of storage.
I don’t want:
- To have problems transfering my data to another comp / svn install.
I tried: Assembla free hosted solution and some other free hosted solutions, these won’t work for me because of storage / project limitations.
So now I have the options:
- Get a shared host with a large amount of space for SVN.
- Just install it on one of my comps (running windows)
- Install it on a vmware image which would make it easier to copy and maybe ease the backup process.
What would you do in my situation and why?
Edit:
Or is GIT a better option in this situation, and if so why? (keeping in mind that I have no experience with this technology)
I would have a look at VisualSVN Server. It installs easily on Windows and addresses all your concerns.
