Source control in the cloud?

[JÞB]

Just this weekend Lynn (johnsold) and I embarked on a collaborative project for a charitalbe organization.  We will be revamping a small LabVIEW project used in their demonstrations.  It turns out though that neither of us has a private code repository with remote access.

The Repo must also be cross platform since He's on a Mac and I'm on Win7. (Not to mention cheap! or better yet Free to us)

We would appreciate any suggestions you all might have for us- Or if anyone wanted to donate space on their existing repo that would be truely appreciated.

Thanks all!

I have used Beanstalk, Sourceforge, Kiln, BitBucket, and GitHub. These all have varying support for SVN/Hg/Git. Git and GitHub currently have the most momentum and likelihood to 'win out' in the future; SourceTree is a great client for OS X. TGit for Windows is not yet comparable to THg or TSVN; perhaps because visual GUIs on Windows don't particularly appeal to the Git crowd? Many of those services listed have free plans for small teams and/or non-profits.

Jack, can you talk on that a bit more?  which of those is cross platform? What of those has a "Free to us" or trial period?  Yes I am hoping that one of you has done the research for me!   Otherwise I'll need to do it again.

Which one of me?

Nevermind.

Short answer; they all have merits, the greatest of which is probably using the SCC system you're already comfortable with.

If you're not comfortable with any, choose Git+GitHub because it's the future man. If you like Hg, use Kiln. If you're categorically opposed to DVCS, use SVN with... I actually don't even know (have only used SVN and CVS with years-old homebrew hosts: not recommended with service providers available today.) -- just use DVCS.

I agree with Jack Git + GitHub is the futur, if you really want to use TSVN then you either have to find a web host that supports it - sure there are some but I haven't use any - or set up an apache server, it's not that complicated if you like IT but it sounds like overkill in you current case.

Oh, I just remembered: if you want to use SVN, use Git + GitHub configured to automatically push after commits. Voilà.

Thanks Jack, TiTuo.

We will "Git'r'Done"

Projectlocker is a svn-host for code, works well.
