Good friendly free file Repository

[KingOfHeart]

I think that's what it's called first of all.

I have a team project and we need to organize our files. We need to make sure all our versions match, and all have the same files. So I thought  we should get a file Repository.

 

So can you list some friendly free ones?

 

PS. Is this the right section?

SVN, git, mercurial, etc.

 

Tools like the aforementioned are sometimes collectively called VCS (version control systems).

I believe SourceForge(.net) offers hosted VCS for open source projects.

So does Google. However you have to make the choose wether you want your files to be distributed (Git, Mercurial, ..) or centralized (CVS, SVN, ..). Most developers nowadays opt for distributed. Distributed version-control is also new which may explain the previous.

 

Here's an article by smashing magazine that may help pick what you want: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/09/18/the-top-7-open-source-version-control-systems/

http://www.github.com is a free repository for hosting open source Git repos. They also have paid options in which you can have private repos.

 

http://www.codebasehq.com is another great repository host which allows Git, SVN, and Mercurial repos.

 

http://www.bitbucket.org is a Mercurial repository host.

 

http://www.codaset.com is another Git repository host, still in beta.
