POMultiple Programmers in Software Development. How do we work on the same code and ensure it is always updated?

Body
copied!<p>This seems like something I should know by now, but for whatever reason I do not. I also am not having much luck searching on the topic.</p> <p>A friend and I are starting a simple project together away from work, both of us are very young in the programming world and want to take on a simple educational project for our free time... My question is, we want to be able to work on the same project, and the files be updated accordingly, without us constantly having to share files with each other. I am certain that there is software out there that exists just for this purpose, or some kind of sharing client that we could use. Problem is, I don't know where to start looking.</p> <p>Some simple advice on how, or what to use to help this project move along more smoothly would be great. And it's a big part of why we are doing it in the first place.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> </p> <p>After some research I settled on Tortoise SVN. The simple right click addon for windows to update/commit files to your hosted server is very easy and user friendly..</p> <p><strong>Additional Clarification</strong></p> <p>It's been quite a few years since I asked this question, and I have learned a lot! If you are here with the same question, I would advise you to research "source control". I originally accepted an answer suggesting subversion, and even stated that I settled on "Tortoise SVN" as my client connecting to subversion. Like all things we adapt as we learn, and the primary source control I use now is Git. It has a larger learning curve, but I can honestly say it is a lot more powerful.</p>
