Best Free Online Source Control

Question

Hi All,

There are many free online Source Control available but I would like to know your experience on it, if any, and which is the best one?

Me and my friend are starting a small test project and would like some really good online source control.

FYI - We will be developing ASP.Net app

Thanks,

Nimesh

Answer 1

If you're just after a hosted source code repository:

• Github
• Bitbucket

If you need issue tracking, file releases, wikis, mailing lists, etc:

• Sourceforge
• Google Code Hosting

I've got one project at Sourceforge, and I find the amenities quite nice. You might find this comparison handy.

Answer 2

I'm using Unfuddle for some personal stuff to avoid issues with corporate firewalls.

You can commit over http with them.

Otherwise, use Github as already suggested.

Answer 3

For online source control, in my opinion, the best is Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted. I ever used SourceSafe, but for better security and lower total cost of ownership, my colleagues and I moved to SourceAnywhere Hosted.

FYI: It supports all MSSCCI compatible IDE integrations: Visual Studio, Visual Studio.NET, Rational Rapid Developer, Delphi, etc. Also, they have Jave Client that can run on any platform that SWT supports.
