[Indies] Versioning/source backups

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/[Indies] Versioning/source backups

I usually create the folders in the repository ahead of time with the repository browser (with TurtleSVN). But you do not have to. You can import whole directories.

Mine looks something like this:

Projects
--BlitzMax
----Cards
----Cards2
----Roids
----SpaceWar
--HGE
----Roids
----Isometric Engine
--VB
----Roids
--VB.Net
----Roids
--C#
----Roids

There are a lot more projects than that, this is just an example. I have written a version of Asteroids in every language I ever programmed in. It helps me learn the language. Especially easy since I have all of the graphics and sound files.

But, when I want to work on my Cards project under the BlitzMax directory, I only check out the cards directory and all of its subfolder into a working Dir. You can do this for just about every thing. Besides the Projects folder, I also have a Documents folder and some other stuff...
