Using some kind of version control when working alone and with small projects?
- by Roflcoptr
Very often I'm working on small projects only for myself. I'm working on one machine, but recently I thought about using some kind of version control nevertheless. This would have some benefits as for example:
I don't have to care anymore for local backup
Mistakes can easily made undone
History can be maintained
But on the other hand it has also some drawbacks like for example:
Additional resources required
Time to setup, get used to it, etc.
From your experience, is it a good thing to use revision control when your working alone?
