Developers? Source Control
 

Which do you use? (svn, git, hg, other)

Do you use a GUI client or command-line only?

Do you have a preference or favorite repository host?

Especially interested what Mac developers are using as a client, if any.

I use my own. Took me 6 years to develop, but it's good.

• Modular and component based. Although there are many standardized components available, it still retains the flexibility so you can open up Notepad and start typing code
• Quality IDE that connects into the repository.
• All development seamlessly flows from the repository to the IDE, so no work is ever stored on the developer's local computer.
• Repository automatically tracks all changes to each module, allowing for automated version control. Create upgrade point, make changes, click 'Publish Upgrade', and voila, it's now accessible to every system with that module installed. Same goes for creating and publishing a new module.
• Streamlines development with over 30 standardized components, so even amateur developers can provide professional results.
• Easily have developers come in and out of projects, and be able to pickup almost where the last guy left off without problem, since all work is streamed through the repository.
• Automated check-in/out system.

It's excellent, and I love it. Not available to the public though, at least not yet.

i have used Subversion in the past both the Visual Studio client and the shell integration for Windows, it's OK but kind of hokey in my opinion and a pain in the ass to set up.

i've also used Microsoft Visual Source Safe which is pretty craptastic on all fronts. i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. ha.

for the last year or so i've been using Microsoft's Team Foundation Server though and have absolutely fallen in love with it. obviously geared towards .NET development and integrates tightly in to the Visual Studio IDE. the install i've been using is still fairly basic, source control only, but it has the capability to integrate with SharePoint and SSRS to report on projects in various ways as well as bug tracking, automated builds, team collaboration, and a host of other features. a bit pricey for small shops, but well worth it if you're a .NET developer in my opinion. it also has full command line support, but i prefer the GUI client just for ease and speed of use.

svn, command line. does the trick. what else do you need, really?

I've been using svn and git so far, but starting to prefer git. Most importantly, working with my files and commits locally without needing to be connected to anything. I've tried Github and Bitbucket and Assembla so far for repo hosting and have no real preference with those yet. I've been using command-line but some of the Git clients look pretty nice and it'd be easier to visualize. I'd go with Tower but I need git-svn and they're a little lacking in that area.

git ftw!

subversion here

i like subversion, use googles free code repo

I'm a recent git convert. I used to use svn.
