I started putting together an SVN repository on my computer.
It turns out that I’ve got a bunch of stuff that could really be dusted off and shown.
It also turns out that I’ve started a port of Space Trader more times that I thought, to as almost as many different platforms as I have ever worked on.
The purpose of my Repository is, of course, to make it easy to backup in one place, as I figure I’ll be getting a new computer in about a year.
But also, it’d be nice to be able to version control my stuff. Plenty of times I’ve wished I could go back to a version just a few hours before. This way I’ll be able to.
I’ve also had a chance to clean out the stuff I really don’t need (like the aforementioned stubs of space trader).
So, yeah! I’m tired of losing stuff, and tired of rewriting stuff I don’t need to. I’ve generated lots and lots of code over the years, so it is time to reap the benefit.
Sounds good.
Since I’ve started using version control I wouldn’t want to go back.
