Anyone have any suggestions on where to start for a newbie wanting to try out some sort of source-control along with a new journey into ASP.NET? SVN, VSS, CVS...I dont even know where to start!
In Object Explorer, right-click the database you want to link to source control and then select Source Control > Link Database to Source Control. In the Link Database to Source Control wizard that opens, under Source control repository, click + to select a source control repository.
Source control is important for maintaining a single source of truth for development teams. Using it helps facilitate collaboration and accelerates release velocity. Some benefits of source control are: It allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase.
There are several different tools that implement different kinds of source control. For example, Git is a source control tool that sets lets you manage a project. Github is a web-site that repositories managed with Git are usually stored on. Mercurial is yet another source control tool.
just make sure you stay away from visual source safe.
