SVN Server

RobMunfy · 13 Jul 2011 at 14:48

Hi,

So I am looking at having a central repository for my code.

Are there companies that host SVN servers that I could simply connect to and store my code on (and allow interaction with eclipse/tortoise svn etc.)? If there are, any recommendations? Perhaps there are ones that come as part of a bundle with a tomcat server, sql database etc.?

Or is it a case of just hosting one myself?

Cheers

If you're going to share the code later on, google will give you 2 Gig for free:

If you just want it for your own use I'd host it locally - its available went your internet is dead then.

Ideally it would be private.

I'm just unsure about hosting it myself, as if I want a collaborative project, obviously as soon as my computer was shutdown, nobody else would be able to access it.

Anyone know of any pay-for (and preferably cheap!!) services?

I've hosted SVN locally using http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/ before and it was quite straight forward.

Same company offers a hosted solution http://www.codesion.com/ but I have no idea how good it is.

If you could use Mercurial instead then these might be a shout https://www.bitbucket.org/, again no idea how good they are it's just another example I found when searching

It's awesome. We use it at work for our MVC projects.

We found it was actually quicker to connect to repositories on the Codesion server than it was to our own local server, although that probably says more about the state of our internal network

Codesion looks perfect for what I want. Thanks!

Yeah at work we have our SVN repositories on one machine and commits seem to be fine but doing an update just seems to be a lot slower than it should be, to me anyway.

Slight off topic but JIRA Studio has me impressed at the minute, if you have Google Apps for Business then it can link in with that. So essentially it does everything, all in this seemingly tightly integrated set up. Do want to be honest
