copied!<p>The most important thing about version control is:</p> <p><strong><em>JUST START USING IT</em></strong></p> <p>Not using version control is a horrible idea. If you are not using version control, stop reading right now and start using it.</p> <p>It is very easy to convert from</p> <pre><code>cvs<->svn<->git<->hg </code></pre> <p>It doesn't matter which one you choose. Just pick the easiest one for you to use and start recording the history of your code. You can always migrate to another (D)VCS later.</p> <p>If you are looking for a easy to use GUI look at <a href="http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/"TortoiseSVN"" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TortoiseSVN (Windows)</a> and <a href="http://www.versionsapp.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Versions (Mac)</a> (Suggested by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2658?sort=newest#2708">codingwithoutcomments</a>)</p> <hr> <p>Edit:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2658/#2672">pix0r said:</a></p> <p>Git has some nice features, but you won't be able to appreciate them unless you've already used something more standard like CVS or Subversion.</p> </blockquote> <p>This. Using git is pointless if you don't know what version control can do for you.</p> <p>Edit 2:</p> <p>Just saw this link on reddit: <a href="http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/subversion-cheat-sheet/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Subversion Cheat Sheet</a>. Good quick reference for the svn command line.</p>
