Visual Studio Source Control / Version Control, Vault vs Git(hub) vs SVN - lone developer, best option?

Question

Visual Studio 2012 Express, SQL Server 2012 Express, MVC 4, Code First

I'm looking for a good single user source control solution.

Vault vs Git(hub) vs SVN

From what I've read deployment should happen FROM the source control server, not separately from VS, right? Can Web Deploy be used FROM a source control server?

What would be the best, most cost effective, simplest, easiest Source Control solution? I used SVN a few years ago and it was pretty clunky.

Visual Studio integration is preferred.

There seem to be mixed opinions on how suitable Github would be (very little integration with VS 2012 Express I think?!).

Cloud option would be good to have. Is there a cloud solution that can automatically deploy direct to production server?

(I guess I'm talking about Constant Integration here - though I have zero experience with it, the principle seems like a good one).

Answer 1

Git can now integrate with Visual Studio:
