What would you recommend for simple and free source control? I have some side projects I am working on and the code is on my desktop. I also want to work on the projects with my laptop. It doesn't necessarily need to be online, I wouldn't think, but wanted to hear what y'all are using to access the same code from multiple systems.
If it matters, some of the projects are .Net and some are Unity. I am not interested in setting up my own server.

Bitbucket has a free option that might suit your needs: Bitbucket Pricing[^]
Edit: Missed the important bit - this means I'm recommending GIT to you.

I believe I looked at that before and possibly even downloaded the client but then didn't like something about it. I cannot remember.
Thank you though.

I think you're talking about Sourcetree, which is Atlassian's own GIT client. However, Bitbucket is only a GIT repository on the cloud, so you could use any GIT client of your choice.

BitBucket also hosts Mercurial, last I saw.

...err, I mean TFS.
...I mean, Team Services.
Sorry. I mean: Visual Studio Team Services
I love Microsoft's naming. Really I do.
It's free, it works.

Nice. I think I'll try that out. Thanks.

Also, if you end up liking Visual Studio Online, you can use GIT as source control provider, having the bost of both worlds; and if you don't like command line to manage commits, etc. you can use GITKraken... it has awesome and very visual UI

What do you guys use for your code repository?

We use something similar to this[^] for storing copies of our code.

Funny, I was actually being serious with my question and you give that as an answer. Interesting...

 That made my day!
Thanks,

I love the security in your system--using the net to keep the upper level data from corruption. Of course, I expect the database could be rebuilt for any dropped clusters.

I've used Git, Mercurial, SourceSafe and TFS, even (from the dark ages) DECset on VMS and an SCM on CDC Kronos systems (darn, can't remember the name, and yeah, SCMs have been around on mainframes since the 1960s). TFS gave me the least amount of trouble. I develop both C# and .NET alongside embedded "bare iron" ARM GCC using Eclipse. TFS worked fine for both.
Working with embedded involves building boards as well as writing code. I used TFS to version schematics, PCB layouts and reference manuals, even field service work instructions, along with code. That's where the database method is handy; it stores binary BLOBs as wll as code deltas.
What I like best is the lack of "file droppings" in source code directories. TFS puts everything in a SQL database. This is developing in a commercial enterprise environment where project management is critical. TFS has a very nice work item structure to track design, bugs, testing, even deployment, and it integrates well with both VS and Eclipse, along with MS Project.
The type of programing is not quite the usual mix. What I need is a common pool of drivers and RTOS tasks that I pick and choose for different circuit boards, sort of an a la carte program design methodology. Code is added to individual files with conditional compiles for different variations, due to IC pinouts, but basically similar targets. Directory level commit gets in the way because individual files are shared across several target builds, not the entire directory. Sure, other SCMs can do file level check in/out, but TFS does it best.
These days I have to use Github, management directives from on high, but I do miss the ease of use with TFS.

I have found TFS or TFS services ( the free online version) to be the easiest I've ever experienced. I recently used Github and find myself cursing the creators. Most of my problems seem to be related to large file handling. I ended up having to learn the commandline just to clean up the messes.i've never experienced anything that frustrating with TFS. Others will swear by Github, but use TFS unless you like pain

In our AX 2012 development, TFS was nothing but a pain. We had issues attempting to implement it with multiple users in two different domains. It just couldn't handle it.

Git or Mercurial (Hg). Very small footprint and extremely easy to install and get started with.
They encourage committing early and often so everything is tracked.
They are both extremely easy to use though I think Hg's commands are a bit easier to remember for some reason -- though as you'll see they share many commands.
1. Download and install Git or Mercurial.
2. download a .gitignore or .hgignore file (for your language like C#) so binaries etc are (ignored) not committed.
3. c:\MyProject\>git init <ENTER>
3. c:\MyProject\>hg init <ENTER>
4. c:\MyProject\>git add . <ENTER>
4. c:\MyProject\>hg add . <ENTER>
5. c:\MyProject\>git commit -a -m "initial commit of project" <enter>
5. c:\MyProject\>hg commit -m "initial commit of project" <enter>
You are set up and ready to go. now all your changes will be tracked.
you can do hg diff or git diff and you'll see diffs
You can do hg status or git status and you'll see files that have been changed.
it's so easy. once you use it you will never want to do anything without it because everything is tracked and you can easily move to a previous revision and throw the current branch away.

I hate command line. I do prefer keyboard over mouse but I'm getting too old, I guess, to have to learn another "language."
Thanks for the feedback though.
