What are some good ones that people recommend?
I think Basecamp is a solid choice for general project documents. I've heard nothing but glowing reviews about it: http://basecamp.com/
However for more of the coding files, I've heard people recommend Github. The only problem is that everything is public if you get the free version - and we probably don't want people seeing our code haha. Is $7/month worth it? Or is there a equally good free but private version elsewhere on the web??
Edit: I'll have to take a look at some of these....http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3822550/looking-for-free-github-enterprise-fi-edition-alternative-for-private-installa
I've used Github a lot for research, as well as for a startup company. I also happen to love git as a version control system, and think we should stick with it.
ReplyDeleteA nice free, private alternative is Bitbucket (https://bitbucket.org/), which supports git too. I've used it for a school assignment that we had to keep private. I'd say we should use Bitbucket first and maybe consider Github later on if we need it.
Another alternative is using Gitorious (http://gitorious.org/) on our own server. At NESL, we have a gitorious server set up and the interface is pretty nice and it's all free as well.
yep bitbucket is nice. git is the dominant version control tool people seem to love these days, so I'd recommend git with bitbucket.
