Survey: How do you manage the source code for your personal projects?

My setup is pretty simple

VisualSVN Server on box, AnkhSVN plugin for Visual Studio

And then backups to external drive once a day or so (also have backups on DVD)

Live Mesh for me. Simple as hell but it works.

Ashamed to say that my own stuff tends to spill out into a folder or right on the desktop in a James Joyce-ian stream of consciousness (if you don't know what that means, pick up the novel Ulysses and try to finish the first sentence).

Vault by sourcegear is free for single use stores everything in a SQL Server database. I back that up and put it up on my dropbox.

VisualSVN Server for me as well

I'm looking forward to trying SQL Source Control (http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Source_Control/) once it's production quality, and if the pricing is good.  No affiliation with Red Gate.  

In the mean time, I'm archiving folder-based SSMS scripts manually, to "Archive" folders.  Visual Studio projects are versioned with VisualSVN and AnkhSVN.

I use DropBox.com. It keeps a backup in the cloud, keeps older versions, and makes it trivial to share copies of current code between multiple machines.

I use a hosted subversion.  (http://beanstalkapp.com/)  The price is reasonable and was easy to setup.  It gets all my code off premises.

I use SVN at home (server and client).  Works awesome, easy to setup, cinch to admin, easy add/commit via VS/VisualSVN/Tortoise.  We use SVN at work, so using it at home re-enforced idea I was using/learning at work.  Nice setup IMHO.

Oh, another addition to previous comments.  I tried using CodePlex last year, but two problems arose, 1) it was slow and 2) it was using TFS as the native back end and is using an SVNBridge piece which just isn't bullet proof yet (not even close IMHO!).  So I kept using my own server until such a time CodePlex bridge becomes more stable.

I used to use SVN, but most times, there is no code control

mercurial

I use Mercurial - very easy to use and setup (i.e. you need no server setup for small local development) and there are many tools (like TortoiseHG) and IDE plugins. Command line commands are similar to SVN.

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/

"Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool. It efficiently handles projects of any size and offers an easy and intuitive interface."

SVN on a self hosted server

Try unfuddle. It is free for up to 200MB.

I have a web hosting account with dreamhost.com and you can make as many SVN repositories as you like, It's great. In my opinion source control is a must even for the smallest of projects, it's quick and easy to setup and is just good s/w eng practice.

bazaar with qbzr. Using Total Commander with custom buttons for launch bazaar.

Tortoise SVN. I don't have it set up on a server, it's on a different disk on my laptop, and I back it up with the rest of the system periodically.

Mercurial, and keep a clone of repository on DropBox. That way, can do work on any machine, and all version controlled.

As others have said, lightweight, no server install/copy required.

TortoiseHG reasonably good.

Ditto on Alb's response -- SVN setup on Dreamhost (a cheap hosting account I've had for years to host family/friends websites and my various little side projects).  No extra cost for me (already paying for the hosting there), easy to set up and maintain, and it's offsite, in case my house goes up in flames or something.

I can't bear re-writing code, re-fixing bugs, etc., so I'm pretty strict about source control.  It's also quite useful for working from different computers, and occasionally for tracking down newly introduced bugs (since I can determine exactly what code changed, test with older revisions, etc.).

http://www.projectlocker.com (SVN) offers 500mb if memory serves. Does everything I need including Trac integration. Awesome and easy upgrades if you grow beyond the free version.

I installed a server at home with Subversion. I made my server accessible with DynDns, so i can use it from the school, the work and at home with no problem.

I also use a Continous Server and a Quality Analysis server on the same server.

I use Mercurial, and I only use it via NetBeans. Dead easy. I make daily backups, but that's a different story.

Google Docs.

mercurial

dropbox.com does retain your versions and will allow you to restore to any version or simply download a past version if you don't want to lose the current changes.

At the moment nothing.

But I am looking for something. I am thinking of SVN.

I have a VMware ESXi server at home with a Debian vitual machine on it. This hosts an SVN server and I use tortoise to version control. Looking forward to the red-gate offering when it comes out. http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Source_Control/index.htm

Mark.

CVS  + Tortoise.
