Version tracking on local mac? [closed]

"I've always felt dumb for not ""getting"" Subversion. You can use it locally, but I never understood it well -- this is obviously a failing of mine, not Subversion's.

However, if you find yourself in the same boat, I recommend Git. I just set it up over the weekend for myself, and using GitX as the GUI (and with some Google help) I was able to get it working, committing, and change tracking pretty quickly. It's definitely not what I'm used to in the version control world (I come originally from Source Safe, and now Team Foundation Server, in my day job), but it's effective and a neat system."

"The best solution for your question is Git.
Once git is installed, enter the directory you want to control the versions and type:

git init
git add .
git commit -m ""First commit""

Now you local version control is created. Everytime you alter your files and want to commit the changes, do:

git add .
git commit -a -m ""message for your change""

To see your history, use gitx"

"You can run a Subversion repository out of the box (with no server setting up) using Cornerstone.

It even has a 14 day free trial, so you can see if it meets your needs."
