hey guys, i use two computers frequently, a laptop with ubuntu 10.10 and a pc with windows 7. i want to be able to access the folders from both pc's. then programming will be less annoying. someone told me bazaar was the best way to do this.
If you're looking to make programming on two computers "less annoying," you probably are looking for some version control system. Bazaar (bzr
) is one such system, as are Subversion (svn
), Mercurial (hg
), and Git (git
).
All of these systems will make it easy for you to record your changes on one computer and apply them (ie, play them back) on the other computer. They'll also allow you to see a history of every change you make, which is nice.
My personal preference is git
, but I have no idea what the state of git
support on Windows is. That being the case, I'd recommend that you look into Mercurial, because I know for sure that it works well on the two platforms you mentioned. Check out BitBucket for free Mercurial source code hosting, and you won't even have to deal with setting up a server to use!
By the way, there is good, free source code hosting for all of the VCSes I have mentioned:
