I followed several guides online, and each seemed to be missing a piece here or there. I have set this up on both Windows Vista 圆4 and Windows XP SP3. You can setup a webserver in under 5 mins on your windows box. WAMP is a pre-configured Apache, MySQL, PHP, phpMyAdmin, and SQLiteManager stack for Windows. I’ve been using WAMP on several computers, and makes it just as easy to setup as it was in Ubuntu. I decided to take the plunge and setup my computers to harness the advantages of version control. Unfortunately, I didn’t seem to find an IDE that uses the synchronization feature, but all support SVN version control.
Wow, coding became alot simpler with the advantages of code completion and hints. I tried out a few PHP IDE’s like Netbeans. However, it makes for a better WYSIWYG editor than a development environment, and does not offer any backup option. Dreamweaver will also save automatically back via FTP. Dreamweaver makes it easy to get the lastest edits off the server, and have a local copy to work on. I’ve been using Dreamweaver to do my php coding and css editing, and enjoyed the easy benefit of using the synchronize feature. I was finding myself sometimes editing a file, saving my changes, and getting uploaded to the site to find I had made an error or broke another feature. I’ve been putting off for quite some time setting up version control for the various websites I work on. However, this tutorial should still work.

You’ll have to get a copy off the laptop, and find all the changes you made. Uh-oh, now you lost the changes you made on your laptop. You edit the files some more, upload, and save. Now you get home or back in the office, sit down at the desktop, and forget to synchronize. Starting with version 1.9 of TortoiseSVN has stopped supporting Windows XP, users of this operating system should use version 1.Say you work on a desktop and a laptop computer, and you synchronize your laptop. There are also several console utilities in the program to manage Subversion. TSVNCache is a utility for caching information of individual processes TortoisePlink is a console utility to connect to Subversion using PuTTY Plink TortoiseIDiff is a utility for working and comparing versions of graphic files TortoiseBlame is a utility for easy navigation through changes made by different authors TortoiseMerge is a tool for solving conflicts of simultaneous access to files, as well as for applying small patches to the project SubWCRev is a tool for writing file revision, reading the status of a working copy and adding keywords to template files The main tools included in the delivery set of the customer are listed below: Also the icons of the files placed in the repository will display small labels with the status of Subversion. The client integrates into the system and adds its submenu to the Windows Explorer context menu with all the main Subversion commands. TortoiseSVN allows you to manage files in a central repository on a file server, check the history of changes to the file and make changes if necessary, restore previous versions of files, and get information about those who had access to the files. According to one of the Subversion localizers, it is a system for managing potential chaos.
Subversion is a centrally managed file and version history management system currently being developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation for multiple developers to collaborate with. TortoiseSVN is a free open source client for the well-known Subversion version control system.
