re: release....

how do you make a branch downloadable in sourcetree?

Well you can pay a monthly fee with Github or use BitBucket (free for upto 5) or even get a cheap Kimsufi atom server and shove Gitlab on it.

All branches by default are cloneable if that's what you mean.

Hi guys,

How do you guys control versions of your application during development stage?

I cannot use github as I need my projects to remain private.

I looked into using bitbucket and sourcetree however I do not know how to release versions and there is no clear guide online.

So what do you use?

Thanks

We use Git, just host your own Git server. Very easy to setup, even I manage to do it

I have a private Gitlab server that I don't mind sharing

I just keep all git projects on the dev server. Github is more for "social" coding or when a load of 'meta' information is needed ontop of the project.

should serve you well.

Just use bitbucket. Free private repos (up to 5 devs).

Unfortunately my projects need to remain private and I am not in a position to pay github to use their "private" feature.

Github is not the same as Git.

Why don't you set up your own Git server within the confines of your business?

Subversion SVN on a server and then numerous clients, such as tortoise on windows explorer and subclipse within eclipse. Don't think subversion is very demanding so an old computer with a few free gigs will suffice

There's no reason why you couldn't stick your repository in a Dropbox folder. Instant private backup, both of your local copy and your revision history.

Or if you don't want it backing up things everytime you compile set-up your repository to push to the Dropbox folder after you commit changes.

We use bitbucket and tortoise at work. Its easy enough once you get your head around branches/heads etc

As someone said, think you get 5 developer access slots for free.

Posting to mention Fossil, a ridiculously easy to use version control program. It comes with a built in bug tracker and wiki page, which isn't to everyone's tastes, but I'm very fond of it.

None of my code is currently open source (), so the repository is stored on a computer at home and accessed over ssh. Worth a look, if only because it's written by the same guy who produced sqlite.
