Revision Control?

**twirp** · March 22nd, 2008, 12:08 AM

What are some good revision control things out there...?
I heard of SVN and Git, but I was wondering what would be easier to use (for people who haven't worked with them), and work well with PHP development (and runs on Debian).

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

SVN, CVS and Git are all of the ones I've used.

Depending on your tools, SVN and CVS are probably the more transparent options. Git is easily the best of the three (local and remote repositories), but the tools aren't widely as available, nor as easy to use. In fact, I've only ever really tried to use Git via command-line, so its probably not a best choice unless you're a command-line fan (then it's #1 recommendation -- install via: apt-get install git-core git-docs).

Of CVS vs Subversion, well, they're somewhat similiar, but subversion doesn't suck nearly as much. Both have a lot of tools available. I'd say go subversion.
